Tottenham Hotspur attacker Giovani Lo Celso plays down the severity of the groin problem that he picked up while representing Argentina.

Tottenham Hotspur attacker Giovani Lo Celso has insisted that the injury that he suffered while representing Argentina against Chile "is not something to worry about".

The 23-year-old, who joined Spurs from Real Betis in the latter stages of the English transfer window, was replaced early in the second half of the goalless draw.

Lo Celso is expected to miss Argentina's next international against Mexico on Wednesday after picking up a groin problem.

However, the versatile attacker has played down the severity of the issue which had threatened to rule the South American out of Tottenham's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace next weekend.

"My problem was only a blow. It is not something to worry about. We deserved a bit more. We had a lot of chances to convert but it wasn't to be," Lo Celso told reporters.

The midfielder has made three substitute appearances for Mauricio Pochettino's side in the early stages of the 2019-20 campaign.
