HUGO LLORIS’ wife has shared a snap of the Frenchman’s knee in a brace following his recent setback.
The 36-year-old is facing up to eight weeks on the sidelines after suffering knee ligament damage in Sunday’s 1-0 victory over Manchester City.
Lloris has missed just one Premier League game in the last three years and that came at Brentford the week after he suffered heartache in the World Cup final.
But now Spurs’ No.1 will be forced to sit out games in three competitions.
He’s set to miss key league meetings with Leicester, West Ham and Chelsea and both last-16 Champions League ties with AC Milan.
Lloris will also be sidelined for the FA Cup fifth round tie at Sheffield United next month and possibly the quarter-finals if Tottenham progress.

In Lloris’ absence, Fraser Forster will get his first proper chance to show what he can do following his summer move.
Forster has only made four appearances this season but is now set to line up in a Champions League knockout tie and some crucial fixtures in the battle to make the top four.
