This was the first assist of the year for the playmaker, who had scored five times over six appearances prior to this game.

Training with team Lo Celso (thigh) returned to team training Tuesday, Betis announced.

Impact Lo Celso got back to team training Tuesday after working his way back from a thigh injury. The attacking midfielder is still hoping to overcome the issue before the international break, though that seems unlikely. Pablo Fornals has taken on more minutes with Lo Celso sidelined.

Muscle injury confirmed Lo Celso is suffering from a moderate myotendinous injury to the rectus femoris of his right thigh and is set to remain out for the time being.

The midfielder also collected 36 crosses (nine accurate), 16 shots (10 on target) and 15 chances created. His absence means that Iker Losada will likely see the start in the attacking midfield, alongside Pablo Fornals and Ez Abde for Real Betis.

That's now five goals over four starts this season for Lo Celso, who also provided 13 shots, 12 chances created, 29 crosses and 21 fouls drawn during this stretch.

Joins Betis Lo Celso completed a transfer to Betis from Tottenham, the club announced.

Impact Lo Celso is joining Betis after the conclusion of his time with Spurs. The midfielder has been surplus to requirements under new boss Ange Postecoglou, and gets his move to Spain. When starting Lo Celso is a contributor in the starting XI, with solid offensive upside. He should be given more room to roam in Betis with Nabil Fekir departing the club.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Productive when given the chance Lo Celso scored two goals and provided two assists in 22 appearances (four starts) this past season.

Impact Lo Celso made just four Premier League starts during the 2023-24 campaign and provided four goal contributions in those matches. He scored on the road versus Champions Manchester City, at home versus fourth-place Aston Villa and provided a pair of assists in a win over Bournemouth. He suffered an injury in early January in an FA Cup match, missed four matches, then did not start again in large part due to James Maddison being back healthy. As long as Maddison is healthy Lo Celso will find it nearly impossible to get into the starting XI, so Spurs may look to move on from him this summer with one year left on his contract.

Suffers knee injury Lo Celso is a doubt for Sunday's trip to Sheffield, according to manager Ange Postecoglou. "The only one that's a bit of a doubt is Gio Lo Celso, He got a knock on his knee, he did...

Impact Lo Celso has hardly played even when fit so even if he's deemed fully fit Sunday it's hard to see him taking a major role. Lo Celso has been a consistent presence off the bench, though he's played more than 10 minutes just once in his last six matches, with little to show for that time on the pitch.

MAY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Among substitutes Saturday Lo Celso (strain) is among the substitutes for Saturday's match against Wolverhampton.

Back in training Lo Celso (strain) is back in training ahead of Saturday's clash with Brighton, according to manager Ange Postecoglou. "Gio's back training with the group"

Impact Lo Celso has missed three matches in a row with this muscular issue but appears to be at the end of the tunnel. The midfielder was seeing consistent minutes before the injury, including a start and pair of assists against Bournemouth. With more options fit he could be back on the bench on his return, though Lo Celso has likely earned consistent minutes off the bench.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Likely weeks from retrun Lo Celso (strain) is still a little "further away" from a return, according to manager Ange Postecoglou.

Impact Lo Celso suffered the injury earlier in the month and similar to most muscle injuries, this one will likely take a least a month to recover from. Fortunately for Spurs, James Maddison is on the mend and could be back for the next league match. Unfortunately for Lo Celso, that likely also means much less time on the pitch.

Set for Monday scan Lo Celso (strain) is set for a second scan Monday, according to manager Ange Postecoglou. "Gio is similar but it is a little bit more complicated. We're still trying to get to the...

Impact Lo Celso will be out Sunday and has no specific timeline on his return. The injury he suffered was reportedly similar to Ben Davies, who is set to miss four-to-five weeks. The fact it's taking multiple scans to get to the bottom of Lo Celso's injury is a concern that it could be even more serious.

Injured against Burnley Lo Celso was forced off in the 58th minute versus Burnley on Friday with a muscular injury. Manager Ange Postecoglu told reporters, "Gio Lo Celso has a bit of tightness, but hoping...

Impact Lo Celso was replaced on the pitch by Bryan Gil, a trend that could continue if Lo Celso is unable to face Manchester United on Sunday. For his part, Lo Celso has started just once in the club's last five contests, registering two assists, two crosses (one accurate) and four chances created. With Yves BIssouma and Pape Sarr away on international duty, Spurs find themselves thin on midfield options, especially if Lo Celso can't play.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Two assists in victory over Cherries Lo Celso delivered two assists and placed a cross (not accurate) in Sunday's 3-1 victory over AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 93rd minute.

Impact Lo Celso put in an outstanding performance on Sunday. He created assists for two of Spurs three goals and played a pivotal role in defense when required making a clearance, an interception and four tackles. From 10 appearances (four starts) he has found the net twice and these were his first assists.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Among substitutes Saturday Lo Celso (strain) has made the match day squad for Saturday's match against Everton.

Impact Lo Celso returns as expected from a muscle strain after training in the buildup following missing last week's match against Nottingham Forest. Lo Celso had started three straight contests, but has been on the bench for Spurs' last two in the league.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Given green light for weekend Lo Celso (strain) is expected to be an option for Saturday's match against Everton, according to manager Ange Postecoglou. "Everyone else is okay . We've got Giovani Lo Celso back....

Impact Lo Celso is set to be in competition with Pape Sarr for the starting spot Saturday after missing last match with a strain. He's struggled with injury that has limited him to just seven matches played all seasons so far, with just three of them coming as starts.

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Lo Celso will spend another stint on the injured list with a strain after having missed one month already with a quad injury. He's started three of the last five matches, scoring twice on eight shots (four on target) in that span. Pape Sarr will likely be in line to start in the midfield during his absence.

DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in draw at Man City Lo Celso scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 3-3 draw against Manchester City.

Impact Lo Celso scored a fantastic outside the box strike in the 69th minute of Sunday's match, a goal which tied the match at 2-2 and was set up by Son Heung-Min. It marked his second goal in as many matches, not-so coincidentally after he joined Spurs' starting XI. Given how he has performed in his two starts, it would not be surprising to see him continue to join Yves Bissouma starting in the midfield.

Scores in Sunday's loss Lo Celso scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and three chances created in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Aston Villa.

Impact Lo Celso made his first start of the season Sunday and made an impact right off the bat as he scored a goal in the 22nd minute off a Pedro Porro assist. It marked just his third Premier League goal for Spurs in 59 matches (29 starts) dating back to 2019. He also created three chances in his 86 minutes of action, so it would not be surprising to see him get more playing time after this performance.
