Giovani Lo Celso is scheduled to miss Tottenham Hotspur’s trip to Manchester United on Sunday owing to a ‘hamstring injury’.
According to journalist Tom Barclay, the midfielder may miss out as a ‘precaution’. Lo Celso has m
ade an impressive start under Ange Postecoglou, scoring four goals in ten games this season.
After joining Spurs for £27 million from Real Betis more than four years ago, the midfielder struggled to make an impact.
However, he has performed admirably in James Maddison’s absence in recent weeks, playing an important role in Tottenham’s 3-1 league victory over Bournemouth.
The Argentine had two assists on the day but was substituted in Friday’s 1-0 FA Cup victory over Burnley. Now, it appears like Lo Celso will miss Tottenham’s match against Manchester United this weekend.

It appears that Lo Celso will miss Tottenham’s match against Manchester United this weekend. Tottenham still lacks numbers in the middle of the park, despite Rodrigo Bentancur’s early return from injury.
Maddison is still sidelined, although he is scheduled to return later this month. Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr are currently on international duty at AFCON 2024.
It leaves Postecoglou with few choices in midfield, particularly dynamic players. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Dejan Kulusevski return to midfield in Lo Celso’s absence on Sunday, which might lead to Timo Werner making his debut.
