Tottenham's Hugo Lloris out of Watford game with thigh injury

Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris will miss their trip to Watford on Sunday with a thigh injury, Mauricio Pochettino confirmed.

Lloris started in Spurs' 3-0 win over Manchester United on Monday, and retained his captaincy despite being charged with drunken driving last week.

"Of course he's gong to miss the game against Watford, but we hope for Liverpool he will be ready again," Pochettino said. "It's not a big issue."

After a historic win at Old Trafford, Pochettino said Spurs must remain focused ahead of their trip to Vicarage Road.

"If we're not ready and we believe because we beat Man United 3-0 all is fantastic, we're going to crash," he said.
