Tottenham Hotspur duo Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon are both back in training, The Evening Standard report.

But it is reported that neither player will feature against Watford this weekend.

And after that, the fixtures don’t exactly open up as options which are very tempting to hand either of the duo their first starts.

The games are not very easy for Tottenham to play either of them. This fixture at home to Watford would have been ideal if they were ready.

After this, comes a home game against Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League.

This might be one where Lo Celso gets off the bench if he is fully fit.

Ryan Sessegnon of Fulham FC applauds the fans after the Premier League match between Watford FC and Fulham FC at Vicarage Road on April 2, 2019 in London, England.

Tottenham follow that with a tough fixture away to Liverpool in the Premier League.

This is one of three hard away games in a row, with a trip to Everton, and then Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League.

It is only on November 9 that Tottenham have a softer home fixture, at home to Sheffield United.

It won’t be an easy one, but the Blades are at least an opponent who Sessegnon has played against before with Fulham and will hold no fear at all.

This might be a nice fixture for Lo Celso to get a start, if he has not done so by then already.

Spurs fans will hope that the duo will get some match action from the bench over the coming weeks, but away matches against Liverpool, Everton and Red Star are not the easiest of matches for big money signings returning from injuries to just jump straight into.
