The 9 games Hugo Lloris could miss for Tottenham as Antonio Conte dealt Champions League dilemma

Tottenham have been handed a huge blow to their season, with Hugo Lloris set to be out for up to eight weeks through injury. The 36-year-old suffered ligament damage in Spurs' 1-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday.

Lloris does not require an operation on his knee but he's expected to miss a number of season-defining fixtures in the Premier League, Champions League and the FA Cup. With the Frenchman on the doctor's table, his absence will see Antonio Conte call up Fraser Forster.

The north Londoners signed the former Southampton shot-stopper in the summer to deputise Lloris and, in the event that he sustains a knock, fill in between the sticks. Forster, who penned a three-year deal with Tottenham in June, is set to be relied upon by Conte in some big games.
