Lamela's development under Mauricio Pochettino has made him a valuable member of the starting XI, so his absence is a blow to Tottenhamย as they pursue a top-four place inย the Premier League and a personal setback as well.
Theย 25-year-oldย is as skilled as any in the Spurs squad and one of their top creators.
Tottenham should be covered in the latter sense thanks to the likes of Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and perhaps Moussa Sissoko, but aside from the full-backs, there are few who can offer the pace and natural width that Lamela provides.
In his stead, it will likely fall to the versatile Heung-Min Son to fill in. The South Korean has been a reliable player for Spurs since his arrival at White Hart Lane, but he perhaps lacks the explosiveness and technical quality of his team-mateโLamela's presence will be missed. ย
