Fresh from their stunning 4-1 aggregate win over Juventus in the Champions League Round of 16, Giovani Lo Celso and Villarreal will be looking for another major scalp on Wednesday evening. Bayern Munich are the visitors to Estadio de la Ceramica and it certainly won't be straightforward for the Bundesliga champions as Unai Emery looks to guide the Yellow Submarines to another famous European night.
Once again hit by injury this term and then in and out of the Tottenham side once fit, Antonio Conte's stance on Lo Celso became clear to see towards the end of January when he was left out of the matchday squad for the 2-0 defeat against Chelsea. A decision that certainly raised eyebrows amongst the fanbase at the time with Spurs not exactly blessed with midfield options with Dele Alli and Tanguy Ndombele out of favour, Lo Celso took to Instagram minutes after the team news was confirmed and announced he was "100 per cent in good physical condition".
Moving on, as expected, following his omission at Chelsea, Lo Celso returned to La Liga with Villarreal and has since become a key figure in Emery's team. Starting in six of his eight league appearances so far, Lo Celso also started in both Round of 16 games against Juventus to help his new club triumph.
