Antonio Conte has confirmed that Hugo Lloris will reclaim his spot in the Tottenham first team once he returns to fitness despite Fraser Forster's recent heroics. Out since the 1-0 win over Man City at the start of February with a knee injury, Forster has started the last eight games for the Lilywhites while the World Cup winner has been in the treatment room.
The summer signing from Southampton has impressed during that time, notably in last Saturday's 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest after making a fine save from Serge Aurier's header before denying Andre Ayew from the penalty spot. Expected to be on the sidelines for six to eight weeks in total, Lloris could return to fitness after the first international break of 2023 has drawn to a close.
Forster's form has certainly given Conte something to think about in the mean time, although he has admitted that Lloris will take his place in goal once again once he is back to full fitness.
