Lamela loss bigger than fans realise


The news is mixed for Spurs fans ahead of the North London clash against fierce rivals Arsenal at the Emirates this Sunday.

The good news is that Harry Kane is back in the squad, how fit he will be and how ring rusty is quite another matter. We must be careful that he doesn't get fatigued and pick up a muscle injury.

We have been struggling to score of late and you'll not that this coincides with Erik Lamela missing a few games. He makes a difference as he has been making telling passes to create goals. Lamela is missing against Arsenal which is a bigger loss than many realise I think.

Mousa Dembele is missing, Moussa Sissoko is suspended and Toby Alderweireld, arguably the best central defender in the Premier League is also still missing.
