Lloris injury could be linked to drink-drive ban - Pochettino

The Tottenham head coach admits a thigh problem picked up by his first-choice goalkeeper could be linked to stresses being endured off the field

Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino has suggested that a thigh injury suffered by Hugo Lloris could be linked to the stresses of a drink-drive charge.

The World Cup-winning goalkeeper damaged a muscle in his leg during a Premier League encounter with Manchester United on August 27.

That outing came less than four days after the 31-year-old had been arrested for being drunk at the wheel of his Porsche Panamera in central London.
