After the World Cup finals, I took a break for a while. Attention is focused on whether he will play in the first game after the league resumes.
According to British media ‘The Boot Room’ on the 19th (Korean time), Jamie O’Hara predicted that Hugo Lloris (35, Tottenham Hotspur) would play in the Boxing Day match against Brentford.
Tottenham will face Brentford at Brentford Community Stadium in England on the 26th in the 17th round of the English Premier League (PL) in the 2022-23 season.
It is the first league game in about a month and 13 days. Tottenham’s schedule was also suspended after the last game against Leeds United on the 13th of last month in the first winter World Cup ever.
There is also good news. Son Heung-min, who suffered a facial fracture right before the World Cup, successfully completed surgery, played the World Cup wearing a mask, and returned to Tottenham to train.
But at the same time as his return, there is also a departure. Richarlison suffered a hamstring injury while participating in the World Cup as part of the Brazilian national team and is expected to miss 3-6 weeks.
Whether or not Lloris and Cristian Romero will participate is still uncertain. This is because they played the final of the 2022 Qatar World Cup at Lusail Stadium in Qatar on the 19th.
While Romero, who lifted the trophy, is expected to be delayed somewhat, there is also a prospect that Lloris will return in time for the league restart.
O’Hara, who played an active role in Tottenham, said through ‘Talk Sports’, “I have to start over right away. There are players who will miss the Carabao Cup match, but the Premier League match is not to be missed,” he said.
Lloris is by far Tottenham’s number one goalkeeper. This season he has started in all of the team’s Premier League and Champions League matches and has kept his net in check.
The position in the French national team remains unchanged. He wore goalkeeper gloves in six World Cup matches, except for the match against Tunisia, 메이저놀이터 where he started the rotation as the main goalkeeper.
Unfortunately, the challenge to win two consecutive tournaments was frustrated. Showing off his potential as the defending champion, he also reached the final of this tournament, but gave the trophy to Argentina after a penalty shoot-out.
