Lloris may miss Southampton game
LONDON • Tottenham could be without goalkeeper Hugo Lloris for today's Premier League trip to Southampton, with the French footballer suffering from illness, manager Mauricio Pochettino said on Friday.
The club captain has started all but one of Tottenham's 23 league games this season and only sat out of the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace in November with a muscle injury.
Third-choice goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga produced an inspired performance on his debut against Palace, but Lloris' back-up Michel Vorm is also fit to step in at St Mary's.
