Tottenham Hotspur star Giovani Lo Celso is set to return against Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League.

As reported by Sky Sports, the Argentine midfielder should be available for selection again after nursing a hip injury.

The summer signing from Real Betis has been sidelined for the past two months, and his return is a big boost for the Lilywhites, who have been struggling in his absence.

Lo Celso returned to training last week along with Ryan Sessegnon, who is still some way off his debut as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury.

One would think Lo Celso will start on the bench against Red Star rather than be thrust straight into the starting XI by Mauricio Pochettino.

TBR’s view – Lo Celso can provide creative spark

Lo Celso’s return is a big plus for Spurs, who have been finding life difficult in recent weeks.

The form of attacking midfielder Christian Eriksen has been a concern, and the team needs someone to step up during a tough period.

Lo Celso has hardly featured so far for Tottenham, but his brilliant 2018/19 offers reason for fans to be hopeful.

His 16 goals and six assists in 46 games were very impressive and Spurs need him to bring his A-game.
