Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino: 'Erik Lamela remains unavailable'

By Darren Plant, Senior Reporter | 24 October 2017

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino says that Erik Lamela remains out of contention and will not feature in the EFL Cup tie with West Ham United.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino has reiterated that he will not rush the comeback of Erik Lamela.

Winger Lamela has not featured for almost a year due to a hip injury, but the Argentine international has recently returned to training and it had been thought that he could feature against West Ham United in the EFL Cup.

However, Pochettino has revealed that no date has been pencilled in for the 25-year-old to return to action.

The Spurs boss told reporters: "No, Erik is not on the list. He's doing well but still he's not available.

"After one year [out], I cannot say tomorrow, one week or one month. It depends on his evolution."

Fellow long-term injury victim Danny Rose could make his first start for Spurs since January.
