Tottenham hopeful Lloris will be back to face ex-boss Sherwood's Aston Villa

Tottenham believes goalkeeper Hugo Lloris will be fit to take on Aston Villa next month.

The France captain suffered a gashed knee in Saturday's 4-3 win over Leicester City which has forced him out of the international double-header for Les Bleus this weekend and early next week.

There are also doubts over Lloris' fitness for the April 5 trip to Burnley but according to the London Evening Standard, Spurs are confident he will be back when former manager Tim Sherwood brings his Villa side to White Hart Lane on April 11.

France take on Brazil and Denmark on Thursday and Sunday respectively but Didier Deschamps will be without his number one gloveman who was forced inside five minutes of the win over the Foxes.
