LONDON (AP) — Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris will be out for up to seven weeks because of a knee injury.
Lloris was hurt late in the 1-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday in the English Premier League and was pictured wearing a brace on his leg.
Backup keeper Fraser Forster will stand in as Tottenham prepares to face AC Milan in the Champions League round of 16 next week.
“We are all disappointed about Hugo, he is injured,” Tottenham assistant Cristian Stellini said on Thursday. “But we have a good experienced keeper like Fraser. We have a tough five weeks in front of us.”
The London club is also in contention for a top-four finish in the league and is through to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
“We trust in Fraser,” Stellini said. “Also we say to Hugo, ‘See you soon,’ because he needs a good recovery. He needs maybe five, seven weeks to be back with us.”
