Tottenham boss Postecoglou insists Lo Celso in plans

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou spoke about midfielder Giovani Lo Celso yesterday.

Postecoglou was asked about the Argentine pass master's stop and start season so far.

Lo Celso has been in and out of the team, mostly due to injury concerns or other players being preferred.

This week, Postecoglou told reporters: It is not just him. There has been a few in that boat where they just haven't had a real good run in terms of there has been injury disruptions and other times when he has been fit, other players have played in his position, but I still think Gio's been good for us this year. Through that middle patch when we had a lot of injuries, he really stood up for us and then got his own injury of course. He made a real impact against Luton at weekend and it really helped us get over the line.

Look, he's a fantastic player, but with all these things you've got to keep the perspective that we're at a big club, we're going to have a big squad and if it is not Gio, it will be someone else that will play that role next year.

No one will play every game. It doesn't happen. It doesn't happen at all the big clubs, so I am never really worried about the game-time players are playing. If they want more game-time, there are other clubs where they can do that and I'm looking at contribution. With someone like Gio, like I said he has contributed to us this year and that's been the most important thing for me."
