Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has revealed that he is aiming to be back fit in January ahead of West Ham’s clash with the North London side.
West Ham host Spurs at the London Stadium after the international break, with Lloris confirming that he will be out – having been injured for their last four Premier League matches.
Speaking to French outlet M6, via TeamTalk, Lloris said this:
Everything is well. There can always be hazards, but my goal is to be ready for January.
Whether it’s the beginning, the middle or the end, I don’t know. In any case, I’ll take time to make sure I’m well-healed and that I can come back in top form.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Paulo Gazzaniga has been Tottenham’s number one since Lloris’ injury, which means that he is likely to start between the sticks against the Hammers. However, it is not much of a boost to West Ham given their own goalkeeping problems, with Roberto currently filling in for Fabianski.
The veteran Spaniard, Roberto, joined as a back-up in the summer but has been forced to play in recent weeks and looked suspect at the back. He has been at fault for several goals and does not look up to the task of being a Premier League goalkeeper, which means that West Ham will be hoping Fabianski can return as quickly as possible.
