Pretty clear from what's happening and from the way that Poch talks about him that Lamela's got a problem in his head, rather than a physical problem.

Lamela had a back problem the season he came to us hence missing the entire season.

Regarding Lamela:
After one year [out], I cannot say tomorrow, one week or one month. It depends on his evolution.

Doesn't sound too good. I hope he hasn't had another setback in training.

Is that why he had two operations?

He recovered from those operations a while ago. He's been training for weeks if not months. When Poch talks about him he says he's physically fit but he has to decide when he's ready in his mind to compete.

Call me a cynic ,but West Ham was a year to the day.Would it have raised to many eyebrows looked to obvious?My bet is Lamela will be on bench for palace.

I think people made clear their feelings when you posted a similar comment in the Injury Updates thread:

Lamela last match 25/10/16 Liverpool league cup

Lamela return 25/11/17 West Ham

Exactly 1 year to the day.

Now that’s a mighty big coincidence

Maybe those operations were to replace his entire bloodstream and clean it from all the steroids/drugs/other naughty stuff that he obviously had in there...

Or maybe he's in the last stages of transitioning?

He's been injured, he's a bit cautious about a reoccurance. That's all. He's no Lance Armstrong.

Nothing to see here

I don’t actually think Son will start.I think will be same game plan for OT and poch will want Son fresh.His pace on counter is crucial.I still don’t really get why Llorente started over Son at bernabeu.Son has shown in 2 big games he is deadly on the counter.

Llorente has shit loads of experience and is very good at holding the ball up.
Son hasn't and isn't.
