Imaging scans often don't uncover causes of pain.

Given the lack of visible injury, then I ever more suspect it is something like lactic/Uric acid residues, or CRH related.

Symptoms - intermittent pain
Lifestyle factors - leads the press, highest intensity player we have, suffered recent emotional trauma

Emotional trauma, anxiety, depression all cause further back ups, if his lymph system is susceptible. Remember this started, supposedly, with a knock in training.

Dark rings round eyes could show susceptibility to low oxygen saturation also, which may significantly contribute, when coupled with emotional trauma (likely hampering his rest and repair cycles)

Hope he sticks with us, fit and at it he's a £50m player to me.

You're hilarious.

He is blatantly undergoing needless surgery on Saturday to cover up the fact that he is desperate to leave England. What player wouldn't be willing to do that to help a club they are unhappy at to avoid selling them at a cut price?

I think its piles.
This is like kurt cobains mystery stomach pain.
Next time Lamela disappears check his garage lol.
Still not optimistic he'll play for us again.
We shall see.
He must be climbing the walls if this is legite.

The @Argentina international has undergone a comprehensive rehabilitation process following the injury in November.
— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) March 29, 2017

The player has achieved a good level of function, however he has been unable to reach the stage required to make a full return to training.
— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) March 29, 2017

Therefore, following ongoing extensive consultation with specialists, surgery has been agreed by all as the best course of action.

So this is why he hasn't made it at Tottenham. That, and the fact that he doesn't work hard enough on defense.

Wasn't in need of surgery. It obv hasn't got any better on its own, now they have all decided to take this step. The lack of information from the club has led to the bad feelig

What lack of information??? They have said all along that he has had a hip injury, you choosing not to believe it is not the clubs failing, it's yours!!

AVB on dembele,

"Top players are missed. He had a scan, but we haven’t seen the results yet. He suffers discomfort and pain on his hip which is not something that shows on the scan so it’s difficult to assess. He had a chance to play [against Chelsea] and had a late fitness test, but the pain didn’t go away. It’s something that comes back to him."

Dr. AVB To Lloris:
"Don't take any notice of the medical experts. Play on."

Dr. AVB to Sandro:
"You can't walk? I've got no-one else - put your boots on, you're playing."

I don't remember Dembele ever having surgery. I think he just plays through the pain and often comes off early.
Hip surgery is not to be taken lightly, so I can't say I blame him.
However that is most probably a different injury to Lamela's.

Rubbish. They told us after he had gone to Roma that he had a hip problem. Then stayed silent for over a month. If you think this whole situation is in one bit normal for a professional footballer your off your head
