On Monday, Tottenham Hotspur announced that their captain, Hugo Lloris, will not require surgery on the dislocated elbow he suffered during their 3-0 league defeat by Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, October 5, 2019.
Lloris, 32, fell heavily into his goal as he tried to prevent Neal Maupay from scoring after parrying the ball into the path of the Brighton striker.
He was treated for six minutes by medical staff on the pitch before being carried off on a stretcher while being given oxygen.
According to the club, Lloris has suffered ligament damage and is not expected to return to training before the end of 2019.
He is currently in a brace and will now undergo a period of rest and rehabilitation under the supervision of Tottenham's medical staff at Hotspur Way.
