Spurs loan update: Ndombele benched, Lo Celso endures tough evening 

In their weekly update, Football.London have revealed how the likes of Giovani Lo Celso, Tanguy Ndombele and Tottenham’s other loanees got on over the weekend. 

After the high of booking a place in the Champions League quarter-finals at Juventus’ expense last week, Villarreal were brought back down to earth over the weekend. 

Lo Celso endured a tough evening on Sunday as the Yellow Submarine fell to a 1-0 loss away at Cadiz.

Ndombele played the full 90 minutes for Lyon in their 1-1 draw at home against Porto, which saw the Ligue 1 book their place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

However, the midfielder was an unused substitute for Lyon on Sunday as they played out a 0-0 against Reims.

Bryan Gil got another 74 minutes under his belt against Elche on Saturday but the winger was not at his creative best, with Valencia edging to a 1-0 victory.

It was a tough weekend for Pape Matar Sarr, who came off from the bench for the final half an hour as Metz were thrashed 6-1 by Rennes.

Cameron Carter-Vickers continued his excellent run of form, helping Celtic keep another clean sheet as Ange Postecoglou’s side beat Ross County 4-0 to maintain their three-point lead over Rangers.

Tory Parrott’s MK Dons battled to a 1-0 win at Cambridge United on Saturday in what turned out to be a difficult night for the Spurs forward.

The MK Citizen gave him a rating of six out of 10 and wrote about the 20-year-old’s display: “Battered and bruised after a relentless outing with little to no reward. He wasn’t alone in that though.”

Jack Clarke played 74 minutes for Sunderland in their 0-0 draw at Lincoln City, with Chronicle Live giving the Spurs man a rating of 7 and writing about the winger: “Offered a real attacking threat and went close on numerous occasions. Did everything but score.”

Kion Etete’s ankle injury ruled him out of Cheltenham Town’s 3-1 win over AFC Wimbledon while Nile John missed out on Charlton’s matchday squad in their 2-0 win at home against Burton Albion.

Spurs Web Opinion

The fact that Nile John is not even making the substitute bench for Charlton is worrying. I would not be surprised if Spurs recalled the 19-year-old over the coming weeks as he would at least benefit from getting game time for our Under-23s.
