Arsenal fear North London Derby curse amid Hugo Lloris injury blow for Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has withdrawn from France's squad for their upcoming Nations League fixtures with a thigh strain. The extent of Lloris' injury is unknown, although it is severe enough for him to withdraw from the French squad that face Austria and Denmark this week.

Spurs fans will be sweating on the fitness of their goalkeeper, hoping that he's fit for the north London derby clash against Arsenal on October 1. Antonio Conte's side make the short trip to the Emirates Stadium in the first game after the international break.

However, it won't be just be Spurs supporters who will be crossing their fingers that Lloris is fit enough to face Arsenal. As bizarre as it sounds, some Gunners fans will be hoping that Tottenham's captain has fully recovered to face their side.
