Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino plays down Hugo Lloris injury blow

Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris will miss tonight’s Europa League clash at Fiorentina after sustaining a shoulder injury in the Premier League win over Manchester City at the weekend.

The French goalkeeper will definitely miss the round of 32 first leg meeting in Florence as well as Sunday’s FA Cup fifth-round tie at home to Crystal Palace.

And while Spurs head coach Mauricio Pochettino has backed under-study Michel Vorm to step up to the mark, he admits not having his skipper available will have an effect.
