Hugo Lloris has already put on the gloves for Boxing Day.
The Tottenham goalkeeper was on the bench at the start of the match against Brentford (1:30 p.m.) on Monday.
If Antonio Conte, the coach of the Spurs fan of his goalkeeper, lets him breathe after a month of the World Cup, this presence on the score sheet nevertheless testifies to the motivation and the form of the goalkeeper.

Eight days after a final lost on penalties against Argentina, Lloris is already ready.
For the first time since the start of this English Championship, the captain of Tottenham does not start the match.
Nevertheless, he will surely have the opportunity to send Fraser Forster back to the bench very quickly: after the trip to the Brentford Bees, the London club continues with the reception of Aston Villa from January 1, 2023.
In Qatar, Lloris displayed a certain form throughout the World Cup.
If his kicking game sometimes annoyed Didier Deschamps, the tricolor goalkeeper made many parades during knockout matches, such as against Poland or against England.
He also shone in the final, notably stopping a powerful and vicious strike from Lionel Messi in stoppage time. His lack of efficiency in the penalty shootout, however, did not help the Blues to triumph Albiceleste while Kingsley Coman and Aurélien Tchouaméni missed their attempt.
