Injured Lloris, Alli to miss Spurs' UCL opener; Alderweireld, Trippier also out

Tottenham will be without midfielder Dele Alli and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris for Tuesday's Champions League encounter with Inter Milan due to injury, the Premier League team announced Monday.

Both players missed Tottenham's loss to Liverpool on Saturday, as Alli is dealing with a hamstring problem while Lloris is sidelined with a thigh injury.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino also revealed that Toby Alderweireld and Kieran Trippier have not traveled with the team to Italy, describing their absence as a "technical decision," according to Oliver Kay of The Times.

Davinson Sanchez could be in line to start in place of Alderweireld, while Serge Aurier is expected to replace Trippier at full-back.

Midfielder Moussa Sissoko was also ruled out of the contest because of a hamstring injury.

Tottenham were knocked out of the Champions League at the round of 16 last season, losing 4-3 on aggregate to Juventus.
