Tottenham's Argentine midfielder has been ruled out for the rest of the season, the 25 year old who last played in October 2016 has been involved in nine goals this season for Tottenham.
A hip injury has kept Lamela out of the side since last year and he is due to undergo a surgery on Saturday. Tottenham had previously said Lamela had "achieved a good level of function" but was not at a stage to make a return to training, leading to the decision to operate.
Lamela tweeted "I've tried to recover but my hip is still not 100%,"
"I can't compete at the level I want to. I'll face this challenge with a positive attitude and can't wait to get back with the team and be stronger," Erik Lamela who joined Spurs for a club record fee in 2013 netted 13 goals last season but has been restricted to just 14 appearances this term.
Tottenham are 10 points behind League leaders Chelsea and travel to Turf Moor on Saturday to face Burnley.
