‘Oh yes’, ‘love to see it’: Some Spurs react after seeing who’s back in training

A number of Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to celebrate Giovani Lo Celso’s return to training.

The Argentine missed all of Tottenham’s pre-season friendlies due to injury, and was missed as Spurs fell to a 1-0 defeat in their Premier League opener against Everton.

Tottenham have a seriously congested fixture schedule to deal with, beginning with the Europa League qualifier at Lokomotiv Plovdiv on Thursday.

After the trip to Bulgaria, Spurs face Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday, then Leyton Orient in the League Cup next Tuesday, then Newcastle next Sunday.

And if Spurs beat Plovdiv, the next round of the Europa League will likely mean a trip to either Macedonia or Romania next week too.

As a result, Mourinho’s resources will be tested to the very limit, so Lo Celso’s return to action is welcome news.

“Gio is back,” said the Portuguese. “Serge had a little knock in training but apart from Tanganga, a few weeks to be back, all good.”

Here is what some Spurs fans have made of the update and the photos:

Lo Celso joined Tottenham initially on loan from Real Betis last summer, Spurs making his switch permanent in the January transfer window for a £27.2million fee, and to date, he has made 37 competitive appearances for the North Londoners.
