Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho could be forced to make a decision on Joe Hart for the upcoming derby against Arsenal. Spurs boast the best defensive record in the league after conceding just 9 goals, with Hugo Lloris contributing four clean sheets to the record. While the Frenchman has played all league games, he has been excluded from the Europa League campaign for the last three games. Hart was between the posts for the most recent game, a 3-3 draw against LASK. But football.London have reported that Mourinho may need to rely on the Englishman again sooner rather than later. Lloris did not travel to Austria for the Europa League clash, having missed the Ludogorets trip over illness before coming back in the 0-0 draw against Chelsea. Spurs have not confirmed if the shot-stopper is carrying an injury – but the report states there is “understood to be uncertainty” over his availability for Arsenal. If Hart is selected ahead of Lloris for the north London derby, it would give the Englishman his first league appearance since Boxing Day 2018.
