France boss Didier Deschamps has left his skipper out of the squad for friendlies against Wales and Germany due to a thigh KO. Lloris, 30, will miss Sunday's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace. Spurs' following fixture is away at fierce rivals Arsenal on November 18.
Deschamps said: "Hugo injured himself yesterday. “He underwent tests this morning that confirm a tear in his adductor (thigh). He will be absent for a minimum of fifteen days.
“If Hugo had been [part of the France squad] Steve Mandanda would have played a match anyway because it was important to give him one. Now he'll play at least one. After we’ll see.”
Spurs are also sweating over the fitness of centre-back Toby Alderweireld.
