Tottenham Hotspur will be without Hugo Lloris yet again this weekend.

Hugo Lloris of Spurs looks on during the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton at Wembley Stadium on December 26, 2017 in London, England.

Hugo Lloris will not return for Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.

The France goalkeeper is still out with a thigh injury and Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino said on Thursday that he is continuing his rehabilitation.

That means that Pochettino must pick either Michel Vorm or Paulo Gazzaniga to line up tomorrow when Tottenham visit Brighton & Hove Albion.

Neither are brilliant options and fans of the North London club are mourning the absence of the World Cup winner.

Lloris hasn’t kicked a ball for Tottenham in nearly a month, with his last game coming in the 3-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford.

But the Lilywhites have lost all three games since then, with Tuesday’s dramatic 2-1 defeat by Inter Milan the latest setback for Pochettino and co.

They could do with Lloris back as soon as possible, but time will tell who the Argentine manager picks on Saturday.
