Poch said: “We will expect that Lamela will be here (on Friday). In the moment he arrives we will assess him to see how he is.
The last scan in Roma showed there was no issue, there is still pain in his hip joint but now it is important to meet us and stay here with the group and push him to keep his fitness and achieve the level of the team and be available as soon as possible.”
There are a lot of rumours. He asked to go to Rome to change the place and maybe inspire him to recover quickly, you cannot control all the rumours but he is very happy.
We keep in touch every day and maybe he was a little worried by some comments. He is very happy here, very focused and has suffered a lot because he is a player who likes to play football and it shows when he is on the pitch, all the rumours do not help him.”
Gladys tells me that the truth of the matter is that Levy has issued a nonnegotiable decree to Mauricio.
In a nutshell, get the boy on a plane ASAP and tell him to STFA from social media. The wee man is fuming that yet again we’ve a player on the books who isn’t capable of kicking an actual football due to a cornucopia of guano.
Quite how this fiasco with Erik Lamela has been allowed to meander into months of contradictory updates and guessing games is something that only Poch ‘might’ know the answer too.
I had some arse biscuit on here yesterday saying that if Erik was depressed he ought not be vilified for it.
Good grief. The depression line was invented. He’s not depressed, he just depresses other people.
Hip injury.
Scan here.
Scan there.
Here a scan.
There a scan.
Everywhere a scan scan.
You get the picture. Or rather nobody appears to have seen any scan picture whatsoever.
INSPIRE HIM TO RECOVER.
Really?
Is Lamela flying back to England business class, or is he travelling freight so he can be lovingly packaged in polystyrene chips?
