World Cup winner Hugo Lloris remains sidelined for Tottenham due to an injury.
Tottenham are without senior pair Dele Alli and Hugo Lloris at the weekend for the clash with Liverpool, but it could be the absence of the latter that proves more important.
Spurs host the Reds on Saturday at Wembley, as two of the expected Premier League title challengers clash.
Missing the creative playmaker Alli is of course a blow for Mauricio Pochettino’s side, but not having the first-choice goalkeeper is a real concern.
Lloris, who earns £100,000-a-week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – is still missing for the North London club due to a thigh injury.
He was unavailable in the last fixture during the 2-1 defeat to Watford and understudy Michel Vorm is not at an elite standard like him.
Spurs will need to be at their best to defeat Liverpool, who are an extremely dangerous side in attack and possess a frightening trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.
The absence of Lloris may give Liverpool a psychological lift going into the game, while it could also have an impact on the game itself on the pitch.
Experienced campaigner Vorm may have to play the game of his career to keep Jurgen Klopp’s side at bay and the injury news is not ideal ahead of the match for Spurs.
