Giovani Lo Celso gets Tottenham fans excited with teasing social media injury update

Tottenham fans have not yet seen enough of Giovani Lo Celso to get excited.

The deadline day loan signing from Real Betis has played just 44 minutes of action in the white shirt of Tottenham as he was first eased into Premier League action by manager Mauricio Pochettino, before then suffering an injury while on international duty with Argentina.

Lo Celso picked up a hip injury during a meaningless friendly between Argentina and Chile during the September international break, which has kept him out of action since.

And with Tottenham struggling on the pitch, his introduction to the squad would be a welcome one.

Lo Celso has returned to training with the rest of his team-mates this week, although Spurs fans were concerned when he was not spotted in a video release of the players doing training work following the international break.

Pochettino revealed in his press conference on Thursday that the midfielder was a long way from the level required to be involved at the moment

But the player himself has suggested that his return to the first team fold may not be too far away now.

Lo Celso has got Spurs fans excited with an update on his recovery on his Instagram page.

Tottenham v Watford: Mauricio Pochettino full post-match press conference

The midfielder was at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the game with Watford, that ended in a disappointing 1-1 draw, on Saturday.

He was spotted walking round the side of the pitch prior to the game kicking off, and he has used a photo from that walk around the stadium in his latest Instagram Story.

He does not put any words with the picture, but has teased fans with two emojis instead - one of an hourglass and one of the praying hands, suggesting that his return to action is not far away.
