Journalist reveals why Lo Celso was replaced at half-time in Europa League

Jose Mourinho rang the changes for Tottenham’s Europa League clash against Maccabi Haifa on Thursday, as expected, with only Steven Bergwijn and Toby Alderweireld keeping their places from the side that started the Carabao Cup clash against Chelsea on Tuesday. But, the team still boasted of plenty of firepower with the likes of Harry Kane, Lucas Moura and Giovani Lo Celso all getting the nod to start. The Argentine also showed tremendous composure in front of goal as he netted a brace for the first time as a Spurs player, although he was surprisingly taken off at half-time. Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has confirmed that the 23-year-old was not rested by Mourinho with Sunday’s match in mind but rather picked up a knock before the interval, which is why he was replaced by Dele Alli. However, Gold did not reveal how serious the midfielder’s injury is or whether he will be fit in time for the trip to Old Trafford. Source- Spurs-Web Join us on Telegram!
