Tottenham Hotspur have been handed an injury boost ahead of the weekend after some fresh training footage was released by the club.
Injuries have been a huge problem for Ange Postecoglou this season with some big names missing lengthy periods already.
However, following the recent return of James Maddison and Micky van de Ven, it seems as if another star could be set to return for the game against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
Giovani Lo Celso spotted at Hotspur Way
The good news continues to flow for Postecoglou who has seen Giovani Lo Celso return to first-team training at Hotspur Way.
Lo Celso’s name was heard in recent footage released by the club on X ahead of their Premier League clash on the weekend in N17.
The Argentine has now missed Tottenham’s last three Premier League games and the FA Cup defeat to Manchester City as a result of a muscle injury.
But there is cause for optimism ahead of the weekend after a coach was heard praising the 27-year-old midfielder [1:59] in the clip from Hotspur Way.
Strength in depth
Lo Celso’s time in north London has been turbulent with the World Cup winner having been sent out on numerous loan spells to find himself regular first-team action.
However, he has certainly taken on the role given to him by Postecoglou as a squad player which saw him play a prominent role in Maddison’s absence.
In just his 411 minutes of Premier League action this season, Lo Celso has been able to provide a return of two goals and two assists.
Speculation has hung over the player’s head for a while now, however, it was suggested he was keen to remain in north London and fight for his place under the Australian manager.
A lot can be said about Lo Celso’s time at Spurs, but his attitude to life with Postecoglou at the helm has been refreshing and he is certainly proving a useful option.
