Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris admits Paul Pogba's knee surgery is a concern regarding France's World Cup preparations.

The Juventus midfielder is expected to be sidelined for eight weeks after undrergoing an operation this week.

Asked about Pogba's controversy with his brother Mathias, Lloris told RMC: "I am not aware of anything.

"What worries me the most are the small physical glitches because we will need our best players at the important moment of this month of November (in the World Cup).

"Paul, we know that his chances are compromised. There are a lot of matches, the series of competitions. It's up to us to recover well by taking the matches one after the other. We also have our responsibilities in clubs but there is this big deadline which is coming soon and which is in the back of our minds."
