Tottenham have been dealt an injury blow ahead of the North London Derby against Arsenal after the international break.
According to L’Equipe, Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has withdrawn from the France squad ahead of their upcoming international fixtures against Austria and Denmark.
It’s unclear so far as to how serious the injury for Lloris is, but with their next game against Arsenal in the North London Derby, Tottenham will be praying it isn’t too serious.
Not only is Lloris their number one goalkeeper, he is also their club captain, so having his influence on the pitch will be vitally important, particularly in a Derby game.
Fraser Forster was brought in during the summer transfer window as a backup for Lloris, but he’s certainly not on the same level as Lloris.
Forster is an experienced goalkeeper who has been there and done it, but Lloris knows what it takes to play in a North London Derby and can help guide some of the new players through the game.
Arsenal fans will be pleased to hear the news, but there’s still no confirmation as to the extent of the injury.
Wanna bet he will be fit? Long history of that club pulling mysteriously injured players who recover
Please give me one example of when that’s happened.
No history of that club ever bottling a fixture against their rivals because one of their players had tested positive for Covid though, is there?
Just another spurs trick trying to lull us into a false sense of security.
What we need is Kane and song injured in training lol😎
All we need is for arsenal to play the Arsenal way, and London will stay RED. C.O.Y.G.
Kane please don’t sign a new contract,wait till end of the year,then see what happens,Spurs will not sell to both Chelsea or arsenal,we hate both teams
We want an outfield player to get something like an ACL injury so we know he’ll be out for sometime
