Tottenham Hotspur and France No. 1 Hugo Lloris is now out on bail after having been arrested for drunken driving in London early Friday morning. Ahead of a crunch clash against Manchester United on Monday night, Spurs must now deal with a very serious situation, as drunk driving is a reckless act that puts lives in grave danger.
Lloris was charged at 2:20 a.m. after failing a roadside breathalyzer test.
In a short statement issued to media, THFC said: “The Club takes matters such as this extremely seriously and it will be dealt with internally.”
The Metropolitan Police statement reads: “A man has been charged following a routine patrol stop in Gloucester Place, W1. Hugo Lloris, 31, of East Finchley, was charged with drink driving on Friday, 24 August. He has been bailed to return to Westminster magistrates’ court on Tuesday, 11 September.”
If the Spurs team captain is dropped for Monday night’s clash at Old Trafford, then Michele Vorm would be in line to start in goal.
