Tottenham have confirmed that midfielder Erik Lamela has undergone another planned hip operation.

The 25-year-old has not played since October last year because of injury and underwent a successful procedure on his left hip last month, with Lamela taking to social media to give a positive update after the surgery.

Spurs say the latest operation was on his right hip but insist it has not changed or extended his expected recovery time.
