Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Giovani Lo Celso is set to miss out on club's festive fixtures.
The Argentine was left out from Spurs' 18-man squad for the Carabao Cup tie against Stoke City on Wednesday evening, with the upcoming matches against Wolves, Fulham and Leeds United likely to come too soon for him to return.
Mourinho has opened up on the 24-year-old and Tanguy Ndombele's absence at Stoke when speaking to the media ahead of his side's trip to Molineux.
"Gio no, he will not be fit. Tanguy is fit but he didn't come to Stoke. My decision, but he is fit," Spurs boss said.
When asked on how long Lo Celso could be out for, he added:
"I don't know, I believe that he will not be playing in this period of Christmas and New Year for sure."
