Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso may fail his medical at Aston Villa if any irregularities are found during his examination, given his injury history, according to Dr. Rajpal Brar. The injury expert notes that Lo Celso has experienced several mild and moderate setbacks in his career, and his lack of game time could also be detrimental.
This follows a report by The Sun on June 6, stating that Unai Emery is eager to bring the Argentine international to Villa Park this summer. Dr. Brar, a physical therapist and sports scientist, told Villa News:
“He’s had a number of mild and moderate muscular injuries throughout his career. It’s not unusual for players, especially with repeat injuries, as previous injuries are the highest indicator of future injuries. He’s also not been playing regularly for Spurs, which impacts overall fitness. The key for him will be to focus on his fitness and habits to limit injury risk. As for a medical, there’s always a chance of it going wrong if an outlier appears.”
Aston Villa should avoid taking a risk on Giovanni Lo Celso. Despite his technical abilities, the 28-year-old has struggled to make a significant impact at Tottenham and during his loan spells. His inconsistent performances, limited goal contributions, and recent knee surgery add an element of risk to any potential deal.
