Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho is delighted with Giovani Lo Celso's imminent return.

The Argentine playmaker has been out since damaging his hamstring against Leicester City on 20 December and has now missed 16 games in all competitions.

Mourinho said: “Gio is not coming back, but coming back to training with the team, which is a big step and a very important one. Even today he was training for the first time, of course, with lots of protection in relation to what he could or could not do.

“But that beautiful relationship between Gio and the ball is magnificent, so it's good news.

"It's maybe a couple of weeks to play, but let's say if everything goes well, we are on the countdown."
