Gio Lo Celso has returned playing for Villarreal.
Lo Celso was back on the pitch for the first time this year following his injury. The 26 year old had last played a match in October against Athletic Bilbao, a match in which he was injured and had to be substituted.

Carlos Alcaraz has scored his second goal for Southampton in their 1-0 win vs. Leicester City.

Marcos Senesi scored for Bournemouth in their 3-2 loss vs. Arsenal.
Senesi scored Bournemouth’s second goal of the match and his second goal of the season. With the score at 1-0, it was a corner kick for Bournemouth and the Argentine would head the ball into the back of the goal to give them the 2-0 lead.
Still on 25 years old, Senesi has not been called up for the Argentina national team since last year. He and Bournemouth are presently last place in the Premier League.
