Mauricio Pochettino reveals Tottenham will be without captain Hugo Lloris for Southampton clash... but could call upon Toby Alderweireld who returns to first-team training

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is likely to be without Hugo Lloris for Sunday’s trip to Southampton with the French goalkeeper suffering from illness.

Lloris is set to be replaced by Michel Vorm but there is good news for Spurs in that Toby Alderweireld is to return to full first-team training.

Pochettino is looking to stay in the race for the Premier League’s top four and said: ‘We need to wait and assess him (Lloris). I think it is flu or a virus. Everyone with this weather will struggle a bit.’
