Spurs team confirmed vs Norwich City: Hugo Lloris returns early to start, Tanganga on the bench

Hugo Lloris has made an early return to Tottenham Hotspur's starting line-up to face Norwich City.

After returning to training last week, Jose Mourinho said Lloris would still not be in contention until early February as he got his confidence back after damaging ligaments in his elbow in the defeat at Brighton in October.

However, Mourinho has sprung a surprise with the Spurs captain already back in the side to face the Canaries with the Spurs boss making two changes to the team that drew 0-0 at Watford.

Japhet Tanganga also drops to the bench with Ryan Sessegnon coming in at left-back.

Giovani Lo Celso and Erik Lamela retain their spots in the team.

Tanguy Ndombele returns on the bench alongside recent signing Gedson Fernandes and Christian Eriksen, while Danny Rose is not in the squad at all.

Here's that confirmed Spurs team: Lloris (C), Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Sessegnon, Winks, Lo Celso, Dele, Lamela, Son, Lucas. Subs: Gazzaniga, Sanchez, Tanganga, Dier, Gedson, Ndombele, Eriksen.
