Michel Vorm can fill the gap left by injured Hugo Lloris, says Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is confident Michel Vorm will prove an adequate replacement for goalkeeper Hugo Lloris after the Frenchman's opening-day injury against Everton.

Spurs captain Lloris was replaced by Netherlands international Vorm 35 minutes into their 1-1 draw at Goodison Park and is set to be ruled out for four weeks with a hamstring problem.

Despite a series of nervy showings since signing from Swansea City in 2014 -notably against Leicester City in the FA Cup in January 2015 - Pochettino believes Vorm will help Spurs get by without their first choice.

'It's difficult when your captain is not on the pitch but we trust in Michel and he is doing well,' the Spurs boss said on Thursday.
