Tottenham boss Conte: Lloris remains first-choice

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has confirmed that Hugo Lloris will be back in his lineup when fit.

Shot stopper Fraser Forster has been an admiral deputy in recent weeks for the North London club.

However, Conte has a loyalty towards club captain Lloris, and confirms the Frenchman will go back in the team when he is 100 percent fit.

"For sure Fraser is playing very well. He's showing to be a reliable player. He's showing to be a really good guy," he told football.london in his pre-match press conference.

"I remembered him well from in the Champions League when we played Celtic with Juventus. He impressed me and the way to be a keeper.

"At the same time, He's a really good person, a positive person for this dressing room. I think it was a fantastic signing for the club and he's showing he deserves credit.

"For sure Hugo is our keeper but before to come back he has to stay well. We won't force the situation because Fraser deserves credit. We are are really happy with Fraser but when Hugo will be ready he is our first choice."
