Lloris & Pritchard step up comebacks at Under 21's win
Hugo Lloris with only half a game under his belt wasn't ready for Old Trafford at the weekend although he was on the bench in case of emergencies, while Alex Pritchard has recently started training again after an ankle injury.
The type of wrist injury he had takes 6 weeks to heal in an adult and that would have taken him until 6August so it was always cutting it fine to be fit for the season opener. The Development side have played an Under-21 Premier League game this afternoon against Everton with both Hugo Lloris and Alex Pritchard in the starting line-up.
Ugo Ehiogu explained to the official website what he was looking for in the game.
Spurs U21 XI (v Everton):
Lloris, Walker-Peters, Ogilvie, Lesniak, Ball, Carter-Vickers (c), Azzaoui, Harrison, Coulthirst, A Pritchard, Oduwa
Spurs U21 subs: Maghoma, Amos, Sonupe, McEvoy, Voss (GK)
Lloris made a save at the feet of an Everton attacker after 12 minutes and Pritchard had a free-kick saved after 18 minutes. A minute later though Nathan Oduwa, who is interesting a lot of clubs, was fouled outside the area and Pritchard curled the free-kick into the far corner.
After 26 minutes it was Pritchard again on the score sheet as Coulthirst back-heeled the ball giving Pritchard the space to curl one into the far corner.
Byrne pulled a goal back for Everton after 43 minutes and after 44 minutes 19-year-old Oduwa restored the two goal lead with a goal from the right.
At half-time Pritchard was taken off as he recovers from his recent ankle injury but two goals and 45 minutes under his belt is a good step back.
After 84 minutes Coulthirst made it 4-1 firing in from the left after a Harrison through ball. An excellent win from the opening game of the season and 90 minutes for Hugo Lloris between the sticks.
The game was controlled by the Spurs lads, the foundation of victory laid in the first-half and cemented in the second by possession based football and the high intensity pressing that Ehiogu was looking for.

“We’re looking for the boys to put in all the things we’ve talked about and to perform together. We know they might be a little bit rusty at times because it’s the first game of the season, but we’ll be looking for intensity and a willingness to press quickly.”
