Tottenham Hotspur outcast Giovani Lo Celso at the risk of failing Aston Villa medical
According to a report from Aston Villa News, an injury specialist has raised concerns that Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso may fail his medical at Aston Villa if any issues surface during his check-up, given his injury history.
Dr. Brar, a physical therapist and sports scientist, argues that Lo Celso has suffered numerous minor and significant setbacks throughout his career. This history, coupled with his lack of consistent game time, could be detrimental to his chances of passing the medical examination.
The injury expert said:
“He’s suffered a number of mild to moderate muscular injuries throughout his career. It’s very uncommon for players to sustain several injuries, especially since previous injuries are the best predictors of future problems.”
“He’s also not been playing regularly for Spurs and that does impact overall fitness.
“The key with him will continue to focus on his fitness and habits to limit injury risk.
“As far as a medical, there’s always a chance of it going wrong if an outlier pops up on his medical. “
Despite his technical prowess, the 28-year-old Giovani Lo Celso has found it challenging to leave a lasting impression both at Tottenham and during his loan spells. His sporadic appearances and limited goal contributions raise doubts about his ability to consistently compete at the Premier League level.
Adding to the uncertainty, Lo Celso’s injury history, notably his recent knee surgery, introduces a significant risk factor for any potential transfer. Clubs considering him will need to weigh his undeniable talent against the substantial concerns surrounding his fitness and consistency.
Lo Celso does not feature prominently in Ange Postecoglou’s plans at Tottenham Hotspur. With his contract in North London set to expire next year, selling the midfielder now is crucial to avoid losing him on a free transfer. Extending Lo Celso’s contract seems highly improbable, making a summer transfer the best option for the club.
However, the prospect of the 28-year-old moving away from North London seems dim if these issues persist. Aston Villa, one of the potential suitors, may shy away from signing him due to his poor performance and injury history.

A transfer away from Tottenham could be a win-win situation for both Giovani Lo Celso and the club. For Lo Celso, it’s a chance to reignite his career in a more suitable environment.
Lo Celso remains an enigma in the football world. His technical skills suggest he should be a key player for any team, yet his track record tells a more cautionary tale. Whether he can overcome these hurdles and finally make a consistent impact remains to be seen. For now, potential suitors will have to decide if the potential rewards outweigh the evident risks.
