"Assessment will continue this coming week to ascertain the full extent of the injury and the length of time he will require to undergo rehabilitation.Spurs went on to lose the game 3-0."Hugo Lloris's injury had a massive impact on the game," Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino said. "It was so early in the game. To concede so early and losing our captain, it had an emotional impact on the team. We tried to find solutions, a different way to play but it was impossible. It's a very difficult moment."Lloris had been named in the French squad for Euro 2020 qualifiers against Iceland and Turkey this month.
