Hugo Lloris is out for four weeks with a hamstring injury, throwing a rare opportunity in the direction of his deputy Michel Vorm.
The Dutch keeper came off the bench to replace Lloris in the 1-1 draw at Everton at the weekend and played well, but he now faces a bigger challenge, as he looks set to start regularly over the next month.
Some Spurs fans are doubting Vorm’s ability to replace Lloris, yet most are getting behind the squad’s deputy keeper. Here’s how they reacted on Twitter.
Following further assessment of the hamstring injury sustained by Hugo, we can confirm he's expected to be out of action for around 4 weeks.

#thfc Hugo Lloris has been ruled out for about a month. Bad news as Vorm hasn't always looked confident as a deputy. Big period for him now.

Lloris out for a month, adding that to my list of reasons to drink clorox

#thfc Lloris injury could just be bad luck but both him & Wimmer have suffered muscle injuries post-Euros (after almost none last season).

My god Coutinho vs. Vorm. Sambuca needed before the game then

Get behind Vorm. He's our keeper for the next few weeks. He's a Spur. Move on. #THFC #COYS

I have major doubts surrounding Vorm's ability to catch,

Some forget superb save Vorm made at 0-1 down to Everton, which probably would've killed us off & rather criticise past performances.#THFC

Ive seen multiple Spurs sides over the years in which Vorm would be considered an upgrade on the keeper we had at the time. Get a grip

Lloris is arguably the best GK in the league but Vorm is arguably the best reserve GK . #THFC #COYS

Losing Hugo is bad but Vorm will benefit from knowing he's definitely playing and having a few games in a row. #COYS

Time for @Vorm_Official to show us what he can do. 100% believe in this guy. One of the best back-ups you can have! pic.twitter.com/QGvyT6gvU9

Zzz
He will do another fine job for us – I hope anyway!
Well that’s just typical Spurs always high hope followed by a downer !!! Keep all your fingers and legs crossed !!!
Until we can step up and be financially comparable with the likes of Man City and Chelskum!
Vorm will do okay – fortunately we have n international break too!
Come on guys, get behind the team! That means all the players.
