Erik Lamela works hard in training at the gym [INSTAGRAM]
Lamela has struggled to fulfil his £30million transfer fee this season since joining from Roma in August.
He is now back in the gym as he recovers from a back problem that has sidelined him for much of Spurs' campaign.
However, it appears Lamela is focused more on representing his country in Brazil this summer than turning out for Tottenham.

"Erik #Lamela for a place in the World Cup," posted coach Nacho Campoo on Instagram, along with a video of the winger on an elaborate running machine.
Lamlea has six caps for Argentina having impressed national team boss Alejandro Sabella during his time in Serie A.
The 22-year-old has not featured for Spurs since December 2013, making just 17 appearances in his maiden season in English football.
