José Mourinho has sent a message to Erik Lamela ahead of his return to action following a lengthy injury: ‘Ciao Puskas…’

The former Roma star has been forced to the sidelines since November due to a shoulder injury and is now close to making his return after missing 22 games with Sevilla. Mourinho, who coached Lamela at Tottenham, sent a message for the 30-year-old, mentioning the Puskas Award that the ex-Roma winger he won in 2021.

“Ciao Puskas, grande Coco. I am so happy that you return playing,” the coach said.

“We’ve missed you and Sevilla need you for the end of the season. I hope you return with all your strength. You know all of us are by your side.”

Lamela scored 21 goals in 67 games in Rome and played 54 games under Mourinho, finding the net five times.
