Hugo Lloris's wife has posted an image of the Tottenham goalkeeper's current state after it was revealed that he will be out of action for up to two months with a knee injury. The 36-year-old already faced an uncertain future at the club with his contract ending in 2024 and his injury has further complicated matters.
The incident occurred towards the end of the 1-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday and is likely to leave summer acquisition Fraser Forster as a deputy in between the sticks. The capped England keeper joined for free in the summer and has only played once in the league this season.
The absence of club captain Lloris comes at a time in which Antonio Conte is also facing a spell away from action after surgery to remove his gall bladder. The pair are both likely to miss the first leg of Spurs' Champions League tie against AC Milan next week though Conte's timeframe is less certain than Lloris.
