LONDON (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur captain Hugo Lloris will miss the rest of the season due to a hip injury, interim boss Ryan Mason said on Friday as the club try to keep alive their hopes of playing in Europe next season.
Lloris was withdrawn at halftime during Spurs' humiliating 6-1 Premier League defeat at Newcastle United last month after conceding five times in the opening 21 minutes, with Fraser Forster replacing him in goal.
"Hugo is out for the season. We had the results back. Obviously disappointing but we feared that initially, so he won't play again for us this season," Mason told reporters ahead of Saturday's clash against Crystal Palace. When asked about the speculation over who the club's next permanent manager would be, Mason said:"Naturally, when there is uncertainty, there are going to be names . That is part of football."Within these walls, we are together, we are working together and we have got a common goal, which is trying to get as many results as possible until the end of the season."
