Tottenham manager Mourinho rules out Lo Celso return against Fulham

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho says Giovanni Lo Celso won't be available for Thursday's trip to Fulham.

The Argentine playmaker is edging closer to fitness, having yet to appear in 2021 due to a hamstring injury.

Asked if Lo Celso was still out, Mourinho said: "It's still the case. Training with the team but was a big injury.

"We are not going to risk yet. In fact we don't want to risk, we want to bring him to the team and to competition when there is no risk.

"So one more week, two more weeks. Apart from that, everybody ok. One more training session this afternoon, but we think ok."
