“Unfortunately, Erik Lamela was operated on the hip. There is concern to know if he will play again. In England they are worried about him, but, because of how the medicine is today, hopefully he can return.”

Not really sure what that means. The fans are worried? Definitely.

Or is he saying the club? The doctors?

I think we just have hope for the best. Hopefully the club are being supportive without pressuring him. Because it's been a very long time and the kid must be in bits. It's his professional life and his passion, you have to feel for him.

Bloody hell that is worrying, I had no idea it was a potential career ending injury.

Hate to say it but our relationship with Lamela has not been the best. His a great guy and gives 110%. But theres always been this aura of mystery around his fitness. As a fan I don't think I will ever be able to trust him to play a full season and go on to achieve what we thought he'd be capable of. Good luck to him though. Nice lad.

I'd love to see him back I think he adds a lot to the team, largely taking the load off of Eriksen. Hope he gets fit soon but also, crazy as this sounds, it's best not to rush players back. We did that with Anderton a few times and one injury became another. Trust in the docs and hopefully this guy is fully fit at year end.

There's no content in that article. No actual information, just a random expression of concern from a former Spurs/Argentina player who has no inside information whatsoever.

So it advances the questions about when Lamela will be fit again in no way at all. It doesn't make it worse or more alarming, nor is it reassuring. It's just gossipy chatter masquerading as information.
