Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed that influential captain Hugo Lloris and defender Kyle Walker will miss the Premier League game against Aston Villa on Saturday.
Lloris has been sidelined since the end of March after picking up a knee injury during the 4-3 win over Leicester and was forced to miss the double header for France over the international break and the game against Burnley last weekend.
The France keeper has still not made a full recovery which means Michel Vorm will get another rare opportunity to play in the Premier League.
Walker sustained a foot injury during the 0-0 draw at Turf Moor last Sunday but should be able to start light training in the near future.
Pochettino said: "Walker and Hugo are out. Kyle has an injury on the top of his foot during the game with Burnley and has still not recovered.
"We hope next week he can start training on the grass but it's difficult to know the time he will be back in the group in normal training.
"Hugo is recovering and is still not training with the group. Maybe next week he can also start training."
