The player has mostly been named on the bench despite impressive performances when played.
When asked about the reason for Lamela’s absence from the first team Pochettino revealed Lamela’s chronic injury problems as the reason why he is absent from the first team.
Pochettino said the lack of action for the player was because of the injuries.
Pochettino said when asked about if he will play against Wolves, ““Maybe. We need to assess him too because yesterday he wasn’t in his best to play. He was on the bench but we preferred after, when the game was 4-0 or 5-0, not to take a risk with him.”
Lamela has to start playing as Son will miss games in the January month as he goes to participate in the Asia cup with his National team.
