Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has said that he plans to be ready for action for the club in January, as quoted in Goal.com.

Lloris is on the sidelines at the moment due to fractured elbow he suffered last month.

The former Nice and Lyon star has admitted that he is not used to be out of action for so long, and is being positive about his situation.

Goal.com quotes the 32-year-old France international goalkeeper as saying: “Everything’s well. There can always be hazards, but my goal is to be ready for January. Whether it’s the beginning, the middle or the end, I don’t know. In any case, I’ll take time to make sure I’m well healed and that I can come back in top form.

“I’m also using the time to regenerate myself. I’ve never been away from the pitch for so long, so it’s something new, but I’m treating it positively. I’m using this period to spend time with my family and my children.

“I’m in good hands and we’re moving forward calmly. Everything’s been done as it should have been. Now, we have to focus on rehabilitation, strengthening, gradually gaining mobility and confidence.”
