Tottenham’s midfielder Giovani Lo Celso is facing yet another absence as he is set to miss the upcoming game against Manchester City due to a hamstring injury sustained in the match against Burnley, which also ruled him out of the game against Manchester United.

The extent of his injury has been shrouded in uncertainty, with O Keefe’s recent report emphasizing the enigmatic nature of Lo Celso’s injury. However, according to the football correspondent for the Evening Standard, the Argentine international is eyeing a comeback for the following week’s fixture against Brentford. Despite his proximity to a return, he will not be available for the FA Cup game against Manchester City, as Tottenham takes a cautious approach to ensure his full recovery.

This development compounds Tottenham’s midfield challenges, as they are already dealing with limited options due to the absence of Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr, who are representing their countries in the Africa Cup of Nations. The team, however, finds solace in the return of Rodrigo Bentancur to top form, with the midfielder even finding the scoresheet against Manchester United.

Furthermore, there are indications that James Maddison is also targeting a comeback for the game against Manchester City, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the team’s midfield setbacks.
