'Back to save our season!' - Spurs fans joyous as Giovani Lo Celso returns to the squad

Mauricio Pochettino has changed things about for Spurs' crucial Champions League clash against Red Star Belgrade.

The Lilywhites have really struggled for form of late and they needed a late equaliser from Dele Alli on Saturday to rescue a point against Watford.

With Toby Alderweireld and Danny Rose missing out completely for the game against the Serbian outfit, Christian Eriksen has returned to the squad after a dead leg kept him out of the draw on Saturday.

The Dane is also joined on the bench by summer signing Giovani Lo Celso.

Joining on loan from Real Betis on transfer deadline day, the midfielder has only appeared in three games off the substitutes' bench so far after sustaining a hip injury on international duty last month.

His absence came at completely the wrong time for Spurs as they desperately required a player of Lo Celso's calibre to help them get out of their recent rut.

While the 23-year-old hasn't played in over a month, he could now make his return to the pitch later on this evening from the bench.

The news has gone down extremely well with Tottenham fans and one has even claimed that the ex-Paris Saint-Germain ace could even save their season.

Here's what they've had to say.
