Mauricio Pochettino says Hugo Lloris will retain the club captaincy at Tottenham but warned the French World Cup winner he had been lucky to escape his drink-driving escapades with only a criminal conviction and a hefty fine.
Goalkeeper Lloris, 31, was fined £50,000 and banned from driving for 20 months on Wednesday after being convicted of drink-driving in his £140,000 Porsche.
In court on Wednesday, embarrassing details emerged as it was revealed how Lloris, while driving at only 15mph in a 30mph zone, dodged red lights and veered 'towards parked vehicles' before being stopped by police in the early hours of Friday, August 24.
