Ange Postecoglou reveals Tottenham player to miss Sheff Utd game as he provides injury update

Ange Postecoglou has revealed that Giovani Lo Celso is not available for Tottenham's Premier League clash against Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon. Coming off at half-time with a quad strain in the recent Carabao Cup defeat at Fulham, the midfielder was not part of the Spurs squad for the win at Burnley and he was also absent for Argentina's World Cup qualifying fixtures.

Spotted on the training pitch at Hotspur Way with his teammates on Thursday, the sighting of Lo Celso gave everyone hope that he would be back in the squad to face the Blades in N17. However, it now appears that it will be next weekend's North London Derby clash against Arsenal when he does make his return.

«Yeah, he is not available for this weekend,» said Postecoglou in his pre-match press conference. «He did train with us yesterday but we will give him another week and will hopefully be available for next weekend.

Apart from Lo Celso and the long-term absentees, Postecoglou had admitted that „everyone's back“ and are available for this weekend's game. Given a couple of concerns over Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min during the international break, the news that everyone is OK comes as good news for the team as they look to make it four wins on the spin in the league.

»Everyone's back — they came back yesterday and we had an afternoon session, more of a recovery session for everyone," explained the 58-year-old. «Today it was a full session and everyone was good, no issues. They all got through training and obviously we'll see how they recover but at this moment in time they've come through unscathed.»
