Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris a doubt vs Southampton with illness

Alex Young @alexwsyoung19 January 2018

Hugo Lloris is a doubt for Tottenham's Premier League trip to Southampton as the goalkeeper struggles with illness.

Sunday's visit to St. Mary's could be the third time Lloris has missed a game through illness in a year after skipping trips to Sunderland and Swansea City last season.

The club captain has missed just one Premier League games this season, as a muscle injury saw third-choice Paulo Gazzaniga named man of the match on his debut as Crystal Palace were beaten 1-0 at Wembley.

Second-choice Michel Vorm is fit to deputise at St. Mary's if needed.

Toby Alderweireld is nearing a return to the first team after almost three months out with a hamstring injury.

The defender has resumed outdoor training alone and hopes to join the squad after Sunday, with the trip to Anfield on February 4 the target to get back on the pitch.

Harry Winks continues to struggle with an ankle injury and Danny Rose is not yet ready to return from his knee problem.
