Lucas Moura has taken to Instagram to provide a behind the scenes Instagram post to show his efforts in trying to earn a spot in the Tottenham Hotspur XI.
The Brazilian has not featured heavily in the starting XI since the arrival of Antonio Conte with January signing, Dejan Kulusevski, nailing down a spot in the Italian’s front three.

However, the 29-year-old has posted an image on Instagram showing him receiving physiotherapy outside of the Spurs training ground in a bid to maintain in top condition.
Sitting on a physio table, the Spurs ace captioned the post: “The guy behind the scenes who’s gonna make me play until I’m 45.”
Moura has not started a game in the Premier League for Spurs since early February in the defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers despite making a decent start under Conte.
The Brazilian winger has five goals and five assists under the Italian, however, it has been the arrival of Kulusevski which has really put a dent in his chances of a spot in the XI.
Having signed in January, the Swedish ace has hit the ground running in north London with two goals and four assists in his first eight games in the English top-flight (via Transfermarkt).
Moura has now been with Spurs for just over four years and in that time he has been able to find the back of the net 38 times in his 193 appearances.
However, with his game time drying up because of Kulusevski’s arrival, could the final months of the season be crucial for his future in north London?
