Tottenham Hotspur will be without goalkeeper Hugo Lloris for six to eight weeks after he suffered ligament damage during last Sunday's 1-0 victory over Manchester City.
Lloris, 36, helped keep the champions at bay as striker Harry Kane scored his 267th goal for Spurs to earn all three points and break the club's goalscoring record, surpassing the legendary Jimmy Greaves. With Tottenham on a run of five wins from seven matches, manager Antonio Conte will now have to deal with the absence of his long-standing goalkeeper.
Lloris doesn't require an operation to treat the injury, but will miss an extended and important period of games in Spurs' season. Summer signing Fraser Forster, who's made only one Premier League appearance for the Lilywhites, is poised to step up and act as No.1 in Lloris' absence.
