UEFA Champions League: Eriksen and Alli go missing as Lloris is back for Barca clash

Tottenham and France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris will return for Wednesday's Champions League Group B tie against Barcelona at Wembley.

The 31-year-old has missed the club's past six games after injuring his thigh against Manchester United in August.

Spurs will be without a number of senior players however.
Christian Eriksen (abdominal injury), Dele Alli (hamstring), Jan Vertonghen (hamstring) and Mousa Dembele (thigh) are all likely to miss out.

Eriksen scored in Tottenham's 2-1 loss at Inter Milan in their opening group match last month.

Barcelona are top of the group after they began their campaign with a 4-0 home victory over Dutch side PSV Eindhoven, Lionel Messi scoring a record eighth hat-trick in the competition.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, who is also without right-back Serge Aurier (thigh), said: "It is a period when we are not having good luck with injuries.

"We are not victims though. We must feel strong. Every player must feel they can win and achieve what we want.

"In the Premier League it is very tough and physical. We had to make a few changes during the Huddersfield game but football is about the squad.

"We need to make sure every player feels important."

Harry Winks and Victor Wanyama, who came on at half-time during the 2-0 win over the Terriers, could start against Barcelona.
