£27m Due to an injury, a Tottenham player may now miss the game against Sheffield United.
Giovani Lo Celso of Tottenham Hotspur is a doubt for the Sheffield United encounter after suffering an injury before the international break.
According to The Evening Standard, Lo Celso might make his comeback to play against Liverpool later this month.
After returning from a loan spell at Villarreal, Lo Celso is yet to make an appearance in the Premier League under Ange Postecoglou this season.
During pre-season, the £27 million player delighted his new manager by scoring twice in three friendly.
The Argentine made his first start of the season in the League Cup against Fulham last month, but was forced off before halftime due to an injury.
And it appears like Lo Celso will be unavailable for Tottenham’s match against Sheffield United on Saturday.
Lo Celso may miss the Sheffield United game.
According to the Evening Standard, Lo Celso is a doubt for this weekend’s encounter against the Blades at home.
Lo Celso was ruled out of Tottenham’s trip to Turf Moor just days after injuring himself at Craven Cottage.
Due to the injury setback, the 27-year-old also missed Argentina’s last team, but was anticipated to return quickly after the international break.
Lo Celso has yet to demonstrate his ability to produce in the Premier League for Spurs, but he might play a vital part this season under Postecoglou.
Indeed, the midfielder is perhaps the ideal replacement for Maddison should the Englishman sustain an injury or require rest.
It remains to be seen whether Postecoglou will be able to utilise both players in his style, with the Australian preferring Pape Matar Sarr to play box-to-box in midfield.
Spurs will want Lo Celso back as soon as possible as Postecoglou attempts to integrate him into the present squad.
