Rabona goal and red for Lamela as Tottenham loses to Arsenal Erik Lamela produced an audacious “rabona” opening goal for Tottenham in the first half against Arsenal in the Premier League

MARCH 14 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sent off against Arsenal Lamela was sent off in the 76th minute after conceding his second yellow card during Sunday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Lamela had scored one of the best goals of the season with a rabona earlier in the match but cut his day short after replacing the injured Son in the first half. Since it was based on two yellow cards and not a straight red, Lamela may avoid the three-match ban and could only be suspended for the next match against Southampton. With both Lamela and Son (hamstring) likely unavailable, Delle Alli could help fill the gap on the wing.

Logs seven crosses in win Lamela created one chance from seven crosses (one accurate) and took six corners during Sunday's 2-0 win over West Brom.

Impact Lamela started for the first time since Nov. 1 after making five straight appearances off the bench. Outside of Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min, the other attacking spots haven't been as productive this season. If Lamela can continue to perform like this, he could fill that void for his team and present solid fantasy value. Up next is a trip to face the league's toughest defense in Manchester City.

Makes bench Wednesday Lamela (undisclosed) is on the bench for Wednesday's Cup match.

Impact This is quite the surprise for Lamela after Jose Mourinho said the winger would be out until January. He hasn't appeared since Nov. 1, but if he can get minutes in the next couple matches, he'll be an option to start at least once over the busy period, though he's never been someone who goes a full 90.

Back in training Lamela (undisclosed) posted a photo of himself on Instagram training with the team with the caption, "Finally, I'm back with the team."

DECEMBER 9, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Out another week Lamela (undisclosed) is unlikely for Sunday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Jose Mourinho.

DECEMBER 2, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

To remain out Lamela (undisclosed) is likely out the next two matches, including Europa League, according to manager Jose Mourinho.

Impact Lamela last played Nov. 1 and it's unclear when he'll be ready again. A possible league return could be Dec. 5, but that's far from guaranteed, and even upon a return, it's a wonder what his role will be in the squad with everyone else healthy.

In last phase of recovery Lamela (undisclosed) is on the "last period of recovery" and he will miss Saturday's match against Man City, according to manager Jose Mourinho.
