Lo Celso has only made one appearance this season, which came against Bournemouth. He wasn’t included in the squad for the most recent game against Burnley because of an injury.

In this competition, squad depth is crucial, so Postecoglou will be devastated to not have the 27-year-old available for selection.

Lo Celso will be hoping to be available for the game the following week, but for the time being it appears that he will have to watch from the sidelines.
