Mourinho Mind Games? Hugo Lloris Is Actually Down For ‘Late Fitness Test’

Chinese Whispers was a thing when I was a child. A game where a phrase could be distorted when passed on by word of mouth by multiple people; the classic being “Send reinforcements, we’re going to advance” – eventually transforming into – “Send three and fourpence, we’re going to a dance”.

You could probably get de-platformed, not to mention find yourself facing 5 -years in Belmarsh for using the phrase these in front of the wrong company these days, but the latest rumours about Hugo Lloris look suspiciously twisted to me.

Alasdair Gold of Football London ‘understands’ that Joe Hart is preparing for the possibility he might start against Arsenal tomorrow.

Another well known football site also managed to publish a piece that had managed blown this up into our French leader having tested positive for COVID-19 – a piece that has subsequently been deleted.

Physioroom list the injury as ‘undisclosed’ and subject to a late fitness test. I’d also take a view that Hart would be preparing himself for EVERY game, after all, this is what understudy’s do, no?
