Hugo Lloris starts for Tottenham for today’s clash with Everton.
The former France goalkeeper has been out of action since February with a knee injury but has handed beleaguered Spurs a boost by returning to full training.
“Hugo Lloris has been training since last week, so he’s training also this week with the team,” said interim head coach Cristian Stellini last week.

“Obviously, we didn’t have the team until Wednesday because they came back day by day from their national teams. But Hugo is fit and well, so we have to take a decision on the keeper.”
Croatia international Ivan Perisic has also shaken off a calf knock picked up on international duty in time to start for the Toffees trip.
“Ivan Perisic is fit and well and trained today,” said Stellini on Friday. “It was only a kick he received with the national team, so he trained this morning with us.”
Spurs will be without longer-term absentees Emerson Royal, Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur and Richarlison. Ben Davies and Ryan Sessegnon are closing in on fitness but neither defender will be ready to face Everton.
Starting Tottenham XI (3-4-3): Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Porro, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.
