Spurs fans say the same thing as training match is played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

"Back home."

It was a simple message from Tottenham Hotspur's official Twitter account, but one that got Spurs fans' tongues wagging.

Spurs have been training at their Enfield complex since the were allowed back in group training, but they took the opportunity to do something different on Friday.

With the rest of the Premier League campaign set to be played behind closed doors, head coach Jose Mourinho took the decision to take the players back to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and play a training match in front of no one.

The Spurs Twitter account posted the message "Back home" with a photo, from inside the North Stand looking out over the pitch towards the single-tier South Stand.

On the pitch were the players, taking part in aforementioned training game.

And while the players were quite far away, many eagle-eyed supporters noticed one worrying thing - there was no Giovani Lo Celso.

Lo Celso was not seen in any training photos from Thursday's session and conspiracy theorists have started to get concerned.

Tottenham's first game back after the three-month hiatus is against Manchester United on Friday, June 19 and fans will be hoping to see Lo Celso, who has been a shining light in a poor season for Spurs, back in time for then.

It is not known if he is injured, or unwell, but the Spurs supporters are clearly worried.
