Tottenham Hotspur insisted on Monday that Hugo Lloris was fit to play on following a head knock at Everton after the club came under fire for not substituting the France captain.
.
Spurs were criticised by Fifa's medical chief and player welfare organisations for letting Lloris remain on the field when 'concussed' following a collision with Everton's Romelu Lukaku during the closing stages of Sunday's goalless Premier League draw at Goodison Park.
.
But a Spurs statement issued on Monday said: "The club can confirm that Hugo Lloris underwent a precautionary CT scan and was given the all-clear and travelled back to London last (Sunday) night.
.
"The France goalkeeper suffered a knock to the head following a collision with Everton forward Romelu Lukaku in the closing stages of yesterday's (Sunday's) Premier League encounter at Goodison Park and was cleared to resume playing after examination by the club's medical team."
They should forget the past and focus on the future. More games to come!
