Lloris, injured during Saturday's 3-0 defeat at Brighton, is not expected to train again until next year.

He fell awkwardly as he failed to hold a third-minute Pascal Gross cross, with Neal Maupay nodding in the loose ball.

"Although surgery will not be required, our club captain has suffered ligament damage," Spurs said in a statement.
