Hugo Lloris has this afternoon be told that he has been ruled out until January after dislocating elbow in the defeat to Brighton.
There were distressing scenes as his right arm buckled under his weight as he tumbled to the ground before he was given oxygen and stretchered off the pitch just 149 seconds into the game.
The France goalkeeper spilled the ball on his own line dealing with a high cross sent in by Pascal Gross gifting Brighton the lead through Neal Maupay in the third minute at the Amex Stadium.
The Seagulls players ran off in celebration, leaving goalkeeper was left is agony at the back of the net.

His team-mates quickly checked to see how he was, before calling their side’s medic team onto the pitch with Lloris unable to move.
He was given laughing gas so it would dull the pain, before he was then stretchered and play was halted for around six minutes.
