Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris injury doubt for North London derby after being ruled out for two weeks
Spurs and France skipper injured his thigh after colliding with Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos on Wednesday
HUGO LLORIS is a doubt to play in the North London derby after being ruled out for over two weeks.
The Tottenham keeper injured himself after colliding with Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos in last night's historic 3-1 win at Wembley.
France boss Didier Deschamps has left his skipper out of the squad for friendlies against Wales and Germany due to a thigh KO.
Lloris, 30, will miss Sunday's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace.
Spurs' following fixture is away at fierce rivals Arsenal on November 18.
Deschamps said: "Hugo injured himself yesterday.
“He underwent tests this morning that confirm a tear in his adductor (thigh). He will be absent for a minimum of fifteen days.
“If Hugo had been [part of the France squad] Steve Mandanda would have played a match anyway because it was important to give him one. Now he'll play at least one. After we’ll see.”
Spurs are also sweating over the fitness of centre-back Toby Alderweireld.
The Belgium ace, 28, limped off against Los Blancos after just 24 minutes.

Mauricio Pochettino confirmed: "He feels something and tomorrow we must assess him.
