Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris could miss start of season with broken wrist

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has suffered a fractured wrist, the Premier League club confirmed on Monday.

Lloris could miss the start of the season next month, the team said in a statement, which did not specify which wrist the Frenchman injured.

The statement said: "The France goalkeeper will continue to work alongside the First Team squad to build up his fitness in a bid to be ready for the start of the season.

"Our medical team will continue to monitor his rehabilitation and progress during pre-season.

Lloris, who joined Spurs from Lyon in 2012, is the club's number one goalkeeper but has been linked with a move to Manchester United this summer.

Michel Vorm is in line to start for Tottenham if Lloris is not fit to start the season.
