Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris suffers a knee injury. yunhap news
British media Daily Telegraph reported on the 9th (Korean time) that Tottenham’s main goalkeeper and captain Lloris will be out for up to eight weeks due to a knee injury sustained in the Premier League (EPL) match against Manchester City last weekend.
Reportedly, Lloris injured ligaments in his knee. No surgery is required, but he expects it will take six to eight weeks before he is back on the pitch.
The absence of Lloris is a big bad news for Tottenham.
Tottenham, 5th in the EPL, are fighting fiercely to get into the 4th place.
In addition to league matches, the schedule is very tight for the time being as we have to digest the round of 16 of the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) against AC Milan (Italy) and the 5th round of the English Football Association (FA) Cup.
Veteran backup goalkeeper Fraser Foster (35) will keep the Tottenham goal in place of Lloris.
Foster, who joined Tottenham last summer, has only played in four matches this season, including one EPL match, two FA Cup matches and one League Cup match, so she needs to quickly improve her sense of the game.
Tottenham will play an EPL away game against Leicester City at 0:00 am on the 12th.
Then, on the 15th at 5:00 am at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy, we will go on an away match against AC Milan in the first leg of the ACL Round of 16.
