Antonio Conte has named his Tottenham Hotspur side which will take to the field in this afternoon’s Premier League clash against Leicester City.

The Italian has returned to the dugout today after undergoing gallbladder removal surgery which saw him miss last weekend’s victory over Manchester City in north London.

Tottenham are without Hugo Lloris, who is set to miss at least the next six weeks with a knee injury and has been joined on the sidelines by Yves Bissouma after the midfielder underwent surgery on a fractured left ankle yesterday (Spurs official).

The experienced Fraser Forster takes the place of Lloris in goal, for only his second Premier League start since joining the club in the summer after his contract at Southampton expired.

Conte will also be unable to call upon the services of Cristian Romero, who is serving a one-match suspension following his dismissal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium against City after picking up two yellow cards.

Tottenham will have one eye on Tuesday night’s Champions League round of sixteen first leg at AC Milan, but will also be aware that a win today will lift them back into the top four, with Newcastle in action at Bournemouth later in the day.

Last time out, Leicester were boosted by a 4-2 win at Aston Villa but still find themselves precariously close to a relegation fight.
