Argentina taking fewer forwards than Brazil to World Cup

Argentina is taking nine defenders, seven midfielders and seven forwards to the World Cup in Qatar as coach Lionel Scaloni’s team aims to build on its Copa America success

Now unlikely to play in World Cup Lo Celso is expected to miss the World Cup as he needs an operation on a muscular injury, according to Gaston Edul of TyC sports.

Impact Lo Celso still awaits official word from his club, but that's not likely to come until after Wednesday's match at Espanyol. However, most reports point that he won't be able to travel to Qatar and until then Alex Baena will help to bolster the creative area of the attack. For the national side, there's plenty of depth in the attack but it could take a little time to determine who might fill Lo Celso's role in the lineup.

Prognosis not ideal Lo Celso (strain) needs further exams on his injury as he could be out eight weeks if surgery is required, according to Gaston Edul of TyC Sports.

Impact Lo Celso is now in danger of missing the World Cup despite earlier hopes he might be back by the opening week of the competition. At the least, Lo Celso is surely out for his club's final three matches until the break and there should be official word on his status in the near future.

Suffers muscular injury Lo Celso has suffered a grade I muscular injury that could keep him out through the first match of the World Cup on Nov. 22 against Saudi Arabia, according to TYC Sports.

Impact Lo Celso will be cutting his participation in the tournament down to the wire as he may not get many chances to play if unfit. As a result, Lo Celso is all but assured to be out for his club's final three games before the tournament (against Mallorca, Espanyol and in the UECL). Despite all of this, Lo Celso is expected to make the Argentine roster for the tournament so he likely has some role to play pending his fitness.

Scaloni: The inexperienced coach who broke Argentina's curse

Comes off injured against Bilbao Lo Celso was subbed out of Sunday's defeat against Athletic Club in the 25th minute after suffering an apparent injury. He took a shot in the match before being taken off.

Impact Lo Celso just returned to the pitch Sunday after missing Villarreal's previous three matches due to fatigue, and he picked up a new potential injury within half an hour. He will just hope it's not serious enough to put his World Cup hopes with Argentina in doubt, but Manu Trigueros replaced him in midfield against Bilbao.

Makes bench Sunday Lo Celso is fit and in the match day squad to face Almeria on Sunday.

Impact Lo Celso returns from a muscle strain that has kept him out of Villarreal's previous two matches. The midfielder had made seven starts prior to the injury but begins Sunday's match from the bench.

Out against Barcelona Lo Celso (strain) is not in Villarreal's match day squad for Thursday's clash against Barcelona.

Impact Lo Celso is missing a second consecutive game Thursday due to fatigue. He will hope to be available next time out against Almeria on Sunday.

OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Misses Monday's win Lo Celso missed Monday's 2-0 win over Osasuna due to fatigue, according to manager Unai Emery. He is also considered questionable for Thursday's trip to Barcelona.

Impact Lo Celso had started in seven straight games before his absence Monday. During any length of absence, Nicolas Jackson, Yeremi Pino and Alex Baena can help fill out the attack alongside Arnaut Danjuma. In seven starts, Lo Celso has scored one goal and made 20 tackles.

OCTOBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes yellow card in loss Lo Celso conceded a yellow card and won two-of-two tackles during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Lo Celso did more work defensively than in the attack despite starting as a forward. This has as much to do with his own lack of involvement as with a defensive game plan, though neither results in great fantasy value for a solid player. In seven league starts so far, he's taken 12 shots and made 20 tackles.

Villarreal seals return of Argentina midfielder Lo Celso

Giovani Lo Celso is returning to Villarreal on another loan from Tottenham

AUGUST 14, 2022 • Associated Press

Returns to Villarreal on-loan Lo Celso has joined Villarreal on another season-long loan from Tottenham, the club announced Sunday.

Impact Lo Celso tallied a goal and an assist in 16 La Liga appearances (11 starts) while on-loan with Villarreal during the second half of last season, and he started in all six of the club's Champions League knockout games as well. The 26-year-old is now returning to the Spanish club on another loan, where he should continue to have a major role whether up front, on the right wing or in attacking midfield.

Has quiet game in win Lo Celso completed 26 passes from the front two in last weekend's 2-0 victory against Barcelona.

Impact Lo Celso tallied a goal and an assist in 16 La Liga appearances (11 starts) since joining Villarreal on-loan from Tottenham in January, and he also started six Champions League knockout games. The 26-year-old looks revitalized playing in Spain, whether it be on the right wing or in a false nine role, and it would be a surprise to see him stay with Spurs after the loan stint he's just had.

Scores in draw Lo Celso scored a goal off three shots (two on target), created two chances, suffered seven fouls and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Sevilla.

Impact Lo Celso was once again Villarreal's most dangerous playmaker and opposing defenders had to make use of fouls to stop him most of the times. But in the 86th minute he was left unmarked inside the box and made most of the space after a half-hearted clearance to send the ball home to give his side what looked to be a definitive lead. This was Lo Celso's first league goal since joining Villarreal in January and he'll try to keep it up during Thursday's visit to Rayo Vallecano.

Provides assist off bench n loss Lo Celso made an assist, had one off-target shot, created four chances, sent in three crosses (one accurate) and drew six fouls during Saturday's 2-1 loss against Alaves.

Impact Lo Celso was part of a double substitution at halftime and did much more than most of his teammates who played the full 90 minutes. He needed just one minute to assist Samuel Chukwueze for his side's lone goal and then used his dribbling and playmaking skills to give his teammates a lot of opportunities to score the equalizer. The midfielder will probably be back in the starting XI for Tuesday's decisive UCL match against Liverpool.

MAY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes two shots in win Lo Celso took two shots (one on goal) and created one chance during Tuesday's 2-0 win over Valencia.

Impact Lo Celso also won two-of-three tackles in the match despite playing as the central-attacking midfielder. He's alternated starts and appearances off the bench in six straight games and this doesn't combine well with a lack of assists in his stat line. Up next should still be an interesting contest against Liverpool after he performed excellently in the recent UCL ties against Bayern Munich.
