Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris did not train with his teammates at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, according to Football.London.

What’s the story?

Spurs held an open training session at their stadium yesterday.

There were 5000 fans inside the stadium.

Lloris did not appear for training, according to Football.London.

The France international was an unused substitute against Milton Keynes Dons on Wednesday.

The report does not explain exactly why the 34-year-old was absent for yesterday’s training session.

Talks over future

On Friday, The Athletic published a story in which it was claimed that Lloris was going to discuss his future with the Tottenham hierarchy.

The former Lyon star is out of contract at Spurs at the end of next season.

The Frenchman has yet to hold talks over a new deal, but the report said that now that he is back in pre-season training, he will discuss his future with Spurs.

Could Hugo Lloris leave?

It is hard to see Lloris leave Spurs this summer.

After all, the Frenchman is the club captain, and there are no credible reports mentioning any other teams who want to sign him now.

AS Roma were linked with Lloris earlier this summer, but Jose Mourinho’s side signed Rui Patricio from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pierluigi Gollini has been signed on loan from Atalanta, and we can expect the Italian goalkeeper to seriously push Lloris for a spot in Nuno’s starting lineup next season.

Lloris is still a good goalkeeper, but Spurs need to seriously think about playing without him in the long term.
