Premier League: Hugo Lloris already on the bench for Tottenham against Brentford

Hugo Lloris has already put on his gloves for Boxing Day. The Tottenham goalkeeper was on the bench at the start of the match against Brentford (13:30) on Monday. If Spurs coach Antonio Conte, a fan of his goalkeeper, gives him a break after a month of the World Cup, this presence on the scoresheet nevertheless testifies to the motivation and form of the goalkeeper.

Eight days after the final loss on penalties against Argentina, Lloris is ready. For the first time since the beginning of this championship of England, the captain of Tottenham did not start the match. However, he will certainly have the opportunity to send Fraser Forster back to the bench very quickly: after a trip to the Brentford Beas, the London club continues to receive Aston Villa from January 1, 2023.

In Qatar, Lloris showed some form throughout the World Cup. If his kicking sometimes annoyed Didier Deschamps, then the tricolor goalkeeper made a lot of parades during knockout matches, for example against Poland or against England. He also shone in the final, stopping Lionel Messi’s powerful and furious shot in stoppage time, but his inefficiency in the penalty shoot-out did not help the Blues to victory over Albiceleste, with Kingsley Coman and Aurélien Chuameni missing.
