Spurs Skipper to Miss Palace Clash

Tottenham Hotspur fans are facing a captain-less weekend as Hugo Lloris is set to miss the Premier League clash against Crystal Palace. The French goalkeeper picked up a thigh injury in training and is expected to be out for a few weeks, leaving manager Antonio Conte with a real headache.

Lloris, a key figure in the Spurs' backline, has been a reliable presence for the North London club since joining in 2012. His absence will be a big blow for Conte, who is already facing a couple of injury issues in the team. Cristian Romero is still recovering from a muscle injury, while Richarlison is also a doubt for the game against Palace.

Conte will have to rely on Fraser Forster, the backup keeper, to step up in Lloris' absence. This is a huge opportunity for the Scottish keeper to prove himself and secure a place in the starting lineup. While Forster is a capable keeper, it's a big ask for him to fill the void left by Lloris, who is considered one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League.

Tottenham will be hoping to bounce back from their recent loss to Liverpool, and they'll need a strong performance from Forster and the rest of the team to get a result against Palace. This is a crucial game for Spurs, who are looking to keep pace with the top teams in the league.

It's unclear when Lloris will return to action, but hopefully, it won't be too long. In the meantime, Tottenham fans will have to hope that Forster can step up to the challenge and keep the team's season on track.
