Spurs are without Hugo Lloris as they take on Inter on Tuesday night.

Tottenham Hotspur begin their Champions League campaign on Tuesday night as they have travelled to Italy to take on Serie A giants Inter Milan – and some Spurs fans want Paulo Gazzaniga to start between the sticks.

Mauricio Pochettino is without captain Hugo Lloris who has a muscle problem, and is believed to be sidelined until the end of the month when the north Londoners take on Huddersfield.

The French skipper will miss the clash against Inter, as well as Saturday’s outing against Brighton and the Carabao Cup outing against Watford next Wednesday, but hopes to be fit for the clash on September 29 against Huddersfield.

Since Lloris has been sidelined, Michel Vorm has stepped in to face Watford and then Liverpool on the weekend, which has perhaps coincidentally seen Spurs lose their first two matches of the season.

Now, Spurs will be looking to get their Champions League campaign off to a good start over Inter, and veteran stopper Vorm is expected to retain his spot in goal.

But some Tottenham fans have become frustrated with Vorm and are keen to see Argentine goalkeeper Gazzaniga given a chance in goal. One fan Tweeted: “Maybe replace Vorm for Gazzaniga? Vorm’s mistakes cost Spurs the game last time.”

Since joining Spurs in the summer of 2017 from Southampton, Gazzaniga has made just one appearance for Spurs in a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. Now, he could don the Spurs shirt for just the second time.
