Hugo Lloris is likely to find himself back in Tottenham Hotspur’s starting lineup this weekend, according to reports.

Tottenham are optimistic that Hugo Lloris will be back fit and ready to start Mauricio Pochettino’s side’s clash with Liverpool on Saturday after the Frenchman missed Spurs’ previous game, according to the Daily Mail.

The World Cup winner started Tottenham’s first three games in the Premier League this term, leading the club to a flawless start. But he missed the clash against Watford due to a thigh injury.

In his absence, Spurs suffered their first defeat of the season, with the Hornets coming from behind to win 2-1 at Vicarage Road. But it appears that his absence will not last long.

The Daily Mail reports that Tottenham are hopeful that the stopper will regain his place from Michel Vorm for Liverpool’s visit to Wembley on Saturday as Pochettino’s men look to end the Reds’ own perfect start to the campaign.

It has been a difficult time for Lloris away from the game, so he will surely be relishing the chance to get back out on the pitch and get back to showing why he has been considered one of the Premier League’s best stoppers from over the last decade.

It was against Liverpool in last year’s game at Wembley that Lloris produced a world-class save to deny Philippe Coutinho. And while he will be hoping that he will be able to answer any questions asked of him in similar fashion this time around, he will surely be even happier if his heroics are not needed and Spurs manage to bounce back immediately.
