Tottenham team news: Hugo Lloris a doubt for Southampton clash due to illness

Tottenham face being without goalkeeper Hugo Lloris for Sunday's Premier League clash against Southampton.

Lloris has been taken unwell with flu and boss Mauricio Pochettino is desperate for his number one to feature in the match against his former club.

But the Argentine coach will monitor the Frenchman's situation closely and will not take any risks before naming his side for Sunday's trip to the south coast, with number two Michel Vorm ready to step in.

Meanwhile, key central defender Toby Alderweireld is close to a return to training following a hamstring problem.
