Hugo Lloris was substituted at half-time of Tottenham Hotspur's embarrassing afternoon at Newcastle United due to an apparent injury problem.
football.london's Spurs writer Alasdair Gold confirmed at the break Lloris tweaked something during a shambolic first half which saw him withdrawn at the interval. "Hugo Lloris apparently couldn't continue due to an injury sustained in the first half, having tweaked something," Gold tweeted.
The Spurs captain was forced to pick the ball out of the back of the net five times in the opening 21 minutes in an extraordinary first half collapse. Lloris' involvement in a number of the goals can certainly be called into question, with at least three of the goals more than avoidable from his point of view. It was his parry for the first that fell straight into the path of Jacob Murphy, despite Joelinton's shot having a distinct lack of power on it.
