Giovani Lo Celso - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Returns for Osasuna clash Lo Celso (thigh) is set to return for Sunday's clash against Osasuna, according to coach Manuel Pellegrini, per Zona Mixta. "It is a very important incorporation."

Impact Lo Celso had been kept out of the Espanyol fixture despite training with the squad last week, with the staff preferring to take a cautious approach given his injury history. His return is a timely boost for Real Betis heading into the final stretch of the season, and while he figures to be eased back in from the bench rather than being thrown straight into the starting lineup, having him available again gives coach Pellegrini a key creative option to call upon as the Verdiblancos push for a European spot.

Back in partial training Lo Celso (thigh) was spotted back in partial team training Saturday, according to Zona Mixta.

Impact Lo Celso took a step forward on Saturday, getting through the team warmup before shifting back to individual work. That is a major win for Real Betis, as it puts him in a strong spot to keep ramping up his fitness and target a return at some point in April. His comeback would give the attack a real lift, especially after he handled regular starting duties while Isco (ankle) was sidelined. Still, Isco is also trending toward a return, so Lo Celso could end up facing a tighter minute share down the stretch.

Nelson Deossa is also expected to see an uptick in playing time in the double pivot as the rotation adjusts.
