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.

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.

Wins three tackles against Juventus Lo Celso took two shots (zero on target), created one scoring chance, drew two fouls and won three of three tackles in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Juventus.

Impact Lo Celso was not super impactful in the final third but put together a respectable outing overall considering also his defensive contribution. He might feature in a more defensive role given the return of Gerard Moreno. He has tallied six shots, five chances, two crosses and ten tackles in the last five games. Villarreal will face Cadiz away Sunday.

Creates two chances in loss Lo Celso created two chances and put one shot off target during 77 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 loss to Osasuna.

Impact Lo Celso has had to play as a second forward in five straight starts and has created eight chances in that time. That's not enough to make a notable difference, as there hasn't been enough scoring to see some assists on Lo Celso's record as well. Until Gerard Moreno (calf) returns, Lo Celso should still get plenty of playing time in this spot and that should continue in the next match against Celta Vigo.

MARCH 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Wins eight duels against Juventus Lo Celso took one off-target shot, created one scoring chance and won eight duels and three of three tackles in Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Juventus.

Impact Lo Celso played in a very offensive role in this one, but he mostly contributed to the passive phase by pressing the opposing playmakers and was not a big factor in the final third. He has tallied five shots, five chances, four crosses and two interceptions in the last four appearances. Villarreal will host Espanyol Sunday.

Creates two chances in win Lo Celso created two chances and put one shot on target during Saturday's 4-1 win over Granada.

Impact Lo Celso has started as a second forward in two of his three matches since joining the Yellow Submarine. With four chances created and four shots taken in that time, he's played consistently but still has a higher ceiling. With a tough match coming in the UCL against Juventus, it may take until Sunday's match against Espanyol to see his potential grow.

Takes three shots in first start Lo Celso had three shots (one on target), created two chances, and made three tackles during Saturday's scoreless draw against Real Madrid.

Impact Lo Celso made his first start since joining Villarreal during the last transfer window and was very active in the middle of the park, showing his well-known playmaking skills and also going up the field to finish plays. Given his performance here, it wouldn't be a surprise if the midfielder remains in the starting XI for next Saturday's visit to Granada.

Loaned to Villarreal Lo Celso has joined Villarreal on loan for the rest of the season from Tottenham.

Impact Lo Celso has battled injuries the last couple seasons and never seemed to catch the eye of new manager Antonio Conte, making this move inevitable. He'll hope to revive his career in La Liga where he produced nine goals and four assists with Betis in 32 appearances of the 2018/19 campaign.

Plays off bench in Cup loss Lo Celso (calf) played 11 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's Cup loss against Chelsea.

Impact It's the second-straight bench appearance for Lo Celso, who appears to be healthy again after missing the last month with knee and calf issues. He's likely still working back to fitness, but if he can remain healthy, he figures to find more time in the squad going forward.

JANUARY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with minor calf issue Lo Celso is dealing with a minor calf injury he picked up in training, according to manager Antonio Conte.

Impact Lo Celso picked the injury up during the warm down after a non-playing performance against West Ham. Lo Celso seemingly could get injured while sleeping, as he continues to struggle with every injury possible. This is labeled a minor set-back, so the hope is that Lo Celso will be back on the bench within two weeks.

Working on fitness Lo Celso continues to work on his fitness following a knee injury, confirmed manager Antonio Conte.

Impact Lo Celso has been back the last two matches for Tottenham, but he clearly hasn't been up to full fitness and ready to play. He may get some minutes over the busy period, but for now, he's not expected to be an option to start until Conte feels comfortable with him.

On bench against Liverpool Lo Celso (knee) is in Spurs' match day squad for Sunday's clash against Liverpool.

Impact Lo Celso hasn't featured since suffering a knee injury just before the November international break, but he's back on the bench Sunday and could see some playing time.

DECEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

In contention Sunday Lo Celso (knee) could be an option against Liverpool on Sunday after returning to training.

Impact If he gets back onto the pitch, Lo Celso would be making his first appearance since a substitute outing versus Everton on Nov, 7 in which he logged 19 minutes off the bench, Even if the midfielder is available, he will likely continue to serve primarily as a substitute option considering he has started just twice for Spurs this season.

DECEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Sunday Lo Celso (knee) will remain sidelined ahead of Sunday's clash with Norwich City. Manager Antonio Conte told reporters, " I think Giovani, after the game against Norwich, will start...

Impact It's not the first time Lo Celso has been pegged to resume training with the squad, so fantasy players may want to take the information with a grain of salt. Still, the midfielder does appear to be trending in the right direction but will likely have to settle for a spot on the bench once first reintroduced to the squad.

Impact It looks like Lo Celso should be an option within the next week, though he probably won't be ready to start until the trip to Brighton. He's received two starts this season, but he has a chance to win Conte over and secure more of a role if all goes well for him.
