Tottenham are set to fine Hugo Lloris two weeks’ wages after he admitted being more than twice over the drink- driving limit, with a decision on his position as captain left to manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Pochettino said last month that Lloris, who skippered France to World Cup victory this summer, would retain the armband and the manager will be asked whether he stands by the decision in his weekly press conference on Thursday.

Lloris was fined £50,000 by the court and banned for 20 months from driving. It is thought the goalkeeper will also receive the maximum club fine of more than £250,000 after he signed a three-year contract extension worth roughly £125,000 a week in December 2016.

In a statement released on the day of his arrest on August 24, Spurs promised they would deal with Lloris internally and insisted the club “takes matters such as this extremely seriously”.

Lloris has admitted making a “terrible error” when he was caught drunkenly driving home from a night out with France team-mates on August 24.

The goalkeeper’s £115,000 Porsche was seen veering across the road, almost hitting parked cars, and running a red light when it was stopped by police.

Lloris, who was accompanied by a passenger, had to be helped out of the car, was unsteady on his feet and slurring, and there was vomit found at the scene, Westminster magistrates heard.

He spent a night in the cells after his arrest at about 2.20am in Gloucester Place, Marylebone. On the night of his arrest, Lloris was pictured with Arsenal centre-back Laurent Koscielny and Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud at Bagatelle restaurant, Mayfair.

The court heard he had planned to take a taxi there but when it failed to arrive drove his Porsche.

“When he came to leave the restaurant at 2am, he was plainly drunk,” said his lawyer David Sonn.

Pochettino was steadfast in his decision to keep Lloris as captain but he may come under external pressure to reconsider now more details of the incident are in the public domain.

Lloris apologised to his manager and team-mates after the incident. Speaking after the game against Manchester United last month, Pochettino — who has described Lloris as like a fifth member of his coaching staff — said: “He feels so sorry.

“He apologised to everyone but not only apologised to our fans, us, the club and he shows his regret and apologised to the whole country, because that responsibility is massive. I think it was a good lesson for everyone, a massive lesson. He’s punishing himself.

“He feels so sorry and so bad because he knows that he made a big mistake but in the same way I think he’s a man out of character. We are going to, of course, support him.”
