Depending on how you look at it this could be a huge blow for Manchester United’s ambitions of replacing David De Gea or Tottenham’s start to the season after French international goalkeeper Hugo Lloris fractures his wrist.
A statement on Tottenham’s official website read: “The club can confirm that Hugo Lloris has sustained a fractured wrist during the close season period.
“The France goalkeeper will continue to work alongside the first-team squad to build up his fitness in a bid to be ready for the start of the season.
“Our medical team will continue to monitor his rehabilitation and progress during pre-season.”
Now following the retirement of American Brad Friedel, it could be former Swansea City shot-stopper Michael Vorm in nets for Spurs when they play their opening match against Manchester United at Old Trafford on August 8th assuming Lloris is still unfit to play.
