Player Watch Player Watch: Giovani Lo Celso

[Shadydan]

He shouldnt have played. For the long term for club and country 2 weeks training with us would have been ideal. National magers are so short sighted

Not sure it works like that.

 

[GiveMeMoura]

It wasn’t the ankle injury that forced him off, the horror tackle was in the 24th minute.
He was forced off in the 53rd minute with a groin injury, nothing to do with the tackle.

 

[spursfan77]

bloody typical isn't it. now he's definitely got a problem in some way

They aren't short-sighted - they just don't care. It is understandable that managers such as Wenger and Ferguson used to hold their players back for some international games.

If they like playing for their countries, not sure it’s clever to withhold the fun / change of scene from them.

That's what manure did with Pogba and Wan-Bissaka. Fainting injuries.

 

[Colonel Dax]

Ugh. Really hope it’s not a serious injury. I was hoping he’d get some more minutes or even start in either of the Palace or Olympiakos matches.

Especially when their club manager might want to be the National manager one day.

It can’t be a coincidence that two of our new signings get injuries as soon as they join, Poch is deffo working then hard in training

What has a bad tackle on GLC got to do with training methods by poch?

 

[DJS]

It is irritating that Lo Celso was started in a friendly when he is still building up fitness for a new club after a disrupted pre-season.

And then shocker, he gets a groin injury...

He wasn’t subbed off due to that bad tackle, he played on until the 53rd min & got subbed off due to a groin injury

Nothing to do with tackle it’s his groin. What baffles me is Pochettino can claim how far off Lo Celso is then starts an international friendly. Added to that played a full season for Betis then played in Copa and had 3/4 weeks off. Can a player really lose that much conditioning in a month ? The way Pochettino goes on it’s like he hadn’t played for a year, bit weird.

 

[Lilbaz]

They need to stop these shit show internationals during the season. Fucking Chilean ****s probably singled him out. Argentina vs Chile For chrissakes - who gives a flying fuck.

People from argentina and chile?

 

[bigpalacios]

Poch may encouraged to go play to get more match fitness. If he hadn't have got injured it could have worked out well for him and us.

 

[Flashspur]

People from argentina and chile?

And who else FFS?

Why do you think he's playing, to get fit maybe?

A low intensity friendly is very different from a Premier League match.

What type of injuries do you commonly receive when fainting?..

It's still minutes. For me it's no different to giving players time in League Cup/early FA Cup games to build match-fitness.

 

[yankspurs]

We really just cannot have nice things.
