Team news | Forest vs Spurs | Lo Celso to miss City Ground clash

Giovani Lo Celso will miss this Friday's trip to Nottingham Forest, Ange Postecoglou has confirmed.

The midfielder, who has enjoyed a bright un of form over the last month with a number of goals in Lilywhite, picked up a knock in training and will now be unavailable for selection as we head to the East Midlands on Friday night (kick-off 8pm UK).

However, our Head Coach believes the injury is 'nothing serious' and there is hope that the Argentina international will be back in training soon.

"We've still got quite a significant absence - we've got eight on the treatment table," Ange explained. "Unfortunately Giovani Lo Celso will join them, he'll miss this week, hopefully nothing too bad.

"It's a slight injury in training... nothing serious.

"In terms of the guys from last week, we're one more down but the rest of the guys are alright."

James Maddison, Ivan Perisic, Ryan Sessegnon, Manor Solomon, Rodrigo Bentancur, Ashley Phillips and Micky van de Ven are long-term absentees and remain out of action.
