Tottenham Hotspur’s miserable form has been made worse with the injury to Hugo Lloris. Tottenham’s official website has given an update and the goalkeeper has suffered a dislocated elbow.

Lloris will now undergo further assessment to determine the length of his injury. But it looks like he will be out for the foreseeable future with a serious elbow injury.

The France international sustained his injury during the game with Brighton & Hove Albion. Lloris went to catch an overhit cross but fell backwards and dropped the ball with Neal Maupay scoring Brighton’s opener.

This set Tottenham on their way to a 3-0 loss at Brighton. When combined with the EFL Cup defeat to Colchester United and the 7-2 loss against Bayern Munich, it has been a disaster-hit start to the campaign for Spurs.

Lloris’ injury limits Mauricio Pochettino’s options now with Paulo Gazzaniga ready to assume first-choice responsibilities. Alfie Whiteman is likely to become the bench option.

Despite Lloris’ poor form this season, this is an undoubted blow for Tottenham. After such a dismal start to the 2019/20 season, this has made things worse. Here are some Spurs fans reacting.
