Tottenham will have to make do without Hugo Lloris for between six to eight weeks after the goalkeeper picked up a knee injury in last Sunday's win over Manchester City. Sustaining ligament damage following a challenge late on in the contest, the World Cup winner does not require surgery but he could be in the treatment room until the start of April if it is to be the worst case scenario.
That means second-choice goalkeeper Fraser Forster will move up the pecking order and take his place between the sticks . Some fans have called for the former England international to be given his chance in net after some recent high-profile blunders from Lloris, with the knee injury now handing Forster the opportunity that he has craved.
Lloris' absence until potentially the start of April will also force Antonio Conte into another alteration as he no longer has his captain available for selection. That honour will instead fall upon Harry Kane, who has worn the captain's armband for the Lilywhites on multiple occasions in the past.
