Mauricio Pochettino will make a late decision on who takes over the captaincy from Hugo Lloris against Palace on Saturday.

Hugo suffered a hamstring injury in our Premier League opening day draw at Everton last weekend.

The French goalkeeper - proud captain of Club and country - will be out for around four weeks, so a different player will now lead the team out for the first time at White Hart Lane this season.

Mauricio told us on Thursday: “We have players like Harry Kane, Jan Vertonghen, Danny Rose, Kyle Walker, Eric Dier, Christian Eriksen - these players could all be captain.

“It depends on the starting 11. I will decide the starting 11 tomorrow and when my starting 11 is in my mind I will decide who will be captain.”
