Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris suffers injury setback

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has suffered an injury setback.

The French Football Federation have revealed captain Lloris has been replaced by Nantes goalkeeper Alban Lafont, with the Spurs skipper suffering a thigh injury during Saturday's 6-2 win over Leicester City.

While the full extent of the injury is unclear, missing Lloris for the trip to Arsenal on October 1 would be a huge blow given the Gunners' impressive form in front of goal this season.

Fraser Forster was brought in over the course of the summer and does boast a huge amount of Premier League experience, though is yet to play for the club in a competitive sense.

Spurs defender Ben Davies has already been ruled out of Wales' UEFA Nations League games against Belgium and Poland as a result of a knee injury.
