Spurs news: Huge injury blow, Lamela boost, the transfer that never happened, FIFA 20 ratings

The Premier League is almost back.

After a two-week international hiatus, we are on the home straight towards the weekend and the return of the Premier League.

All Tottenham eyes will be on their home stadium and the visit of Crystal Palace.

Spurs fans will be hoping for a better occasion than the last time they were at home, as they will be desperate to eradicate that 1-0 reverse at the hands of Newcastle United.

But they have been hit by some bad new from the international break.

Read all about that and more in our round-up of all the biggest news stories from the past 24 hours.

Lo Celso injury

There were conflicting reports over the weekend of an injury sustained by Giovani Lo Celso.

The Argentinian is being eased into action at Tottenham by Mauricio Pochettino after making the summer move from Real Betis.

He has been away with Argentina during the international break, but went off after 53 minutes of their friendly with Chile, after picking up an injury.

And he has returned to Tottenham as a result of that injury, with Spurs confirming fans' worst fears.

Here are the games the new signing will miss.
