Report: Tottenham's Hugo Lloris a doubt for Manchester United match
Andrew Couldridge / Reuters
Tottenham's season-opener likely won't feature Hugo Lloris as he continues to recover from a fractured wrist.
The French 'keeper, who sustained the injury three weeks ago, will likely be replaced by Michel Vorm when Tottenham visits Old Trafford for its clash against Manchester United, according to Sky Sports.
It's the second major injury for the 28-year-old in a matter of months after injuring his knee during a Premier League match against Leicester City in March when he collided with teammate Kyle Walker.
Lloris registered eight clean sheets last season and earned the captaincy role following his third season with the north London side.
Luke McGee, 19, could serve as Vorm's back-up if Lloris fails to regain fitness.
