Your support makes all the difference.Tottenham have announced Giovani Lo Celso will be out injured for around six weeks after picking up an injury while on international duty with Argentina.
Spurs confirmed the 23-year-old has withdrawn from the squad after picking up an injury playing against Chile.
It is a blow for Mauricio Pochettino, who signed Lo Celso on loan from Real Betis with an option to buy this summer.
A statement read: “Giovani Lo Celso has returned early to Hotspur Way after being withdrawn from the Argentina squad due to a hip injury.
“The attacking midfielder sustained the injury during his national team’s match against Chile.
“He will now undergo a period of rehabilitation and is expected to return to training with the first team towards the end of October.”
Should Lo Celso recover as expected, he could target the away fixture against Liverpool on October 27 for his return.
