Tottenham Star Set for Return to Action After Almost a Year Out Due to Injury

Erik Lamela is working towards a full recovery from the hip injury that has kept the Argentine winger out of action since October 2016.

Since signing from Roma for £30m in 2014 Lamela's Spurs career has been significantly restricted by injury issues, keeping him from holding down a regular first team spot, with his latest stint on the treatment table seeing him miss as many as 51 games across all competitions.

However, after a frustratingly long spell on the sidelines, Lamela has been seen in full training with Spurs on Thursday in Enfield, as per Sky Sports.

After undergoing surgery in April, the 25-year-old has looked to have made a full recovery, with a view to returning to regular game time soon.

Although a fresh setback is set to see his recovery stretch to October this year, seeing his time out reach an unprecedented calendar year, it is expected he could make a return to the matchday squad for any of Spurs' games across that month.
