Tottenham boost as date set for Giovani Lo Celso’s injured return
Spurs looking for favourable fitness news as James Maddison considers comeback.
Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso is hoping to return against Brentford next week.
Lo Celso will miss Friday’s FA Cup match against Manchester City, although he is nearing a return.
The 27-year-old missed the 2-2 draw against Manchester United due to a minor muscle strain suffered against Burnley earlier this month.
Spurs face Brentford in the Premier League next Wednesday.
Lo Celso‘s return will be a bonus for Ange Postecoglou, who also hopes to see James Maddison return from injury when Spurs host City.
Spurs are taking a careful approach with Lo Celso, who has emerged as a creative force while Maddison is sidelined with an ankle injury.
Lo Celso has been linked with a January departure from Tottenham, but despite interest from a number of Spanish clubs, including Barcelona, he is unlikely to leave this month.
Maddison has returned to training after missing nearly three months due to an ankle injury, and Spurs are hoping to see him play against City.
Postecoglou will provide an update on Maddison’s fitness on Thursday during his news conference ahead of the City encounter.
