Lloris injury hampered by stress

Tottenham

Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino believes the stress caused by Hugo Lloris’ drink-driving charge may have contributed to the thigh injury that has ruled his firstchoice goalkeeper out of their last three matches.

France’s World Cup-winning captain was fined 50,000 pounds and banned from driving for 20 months after pleading guilty in court last week to being more than twice the legal drink-driving limit.

Lloris suffered the injury during the 3-0 Premier League victory over Manchester United, three days after he was charged by police in central London. (Reuters)
