Giovani Lo Celso is the latest injury blow for Tottenham Hotspur ahead of their trip to face Manchester United on Sunday.
The midfielder is expected to miss the game after sustaining a hamstring ‘issue’, with the club keen to take precaution and not aggravate the injury, as relayed by journalist Tom Barclay.
Lo Celso’s game time has been somewhat limited this term due to Spurs’ midfield depth, however, absences to players has led to him being granted a more significant role in recent weeks. In his 10 Premier League appearances, he’s returned two goals and two assists.
Both sides nursing injury woes
Influential playmaker James Maddison is also sidelined for the contest, as well as club captain and top goalscorer Son Heung-min, who is on international duty with South Korea at the Asian Cup.
The Reds are also expected to be without a host of key players, including Casemiro, Mason Mount and Harry Maguire. Lisandro Martinez is pushing to make his return in time for the match, but it remains to be seen if he’ll be deemed fit enough to feature.
