Premier League clubs approve changes to associated party transaction rules
The proposed changes came into play after an independent tribunal found some aspects of the APT rules to be unlawful following Manchester City’s lawsuit.
Tottenham Hotspur’s star goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has now been ruled out for the rest of 2019 after he dislocated his elbow during a Premier League encounter. The same was confirmed by the club.
Notably, Lloris sustained this injury in his team’s 0-3 loss to Brighton on Saturday. Lloris had failed to hold on to a cross in just the third minute of the match which gave Brighton’s Neal Maupay a goal which set the tempo of the match after which the Brighton looked a completely different side. Lloris, who also captains the Tottenham side, injured his left arm during his unsuccessful attempt at saving the goal and consequently had to be stretchered off the ground.
Tottenham later confirmed that the French International player had actually dislocated his elbow. Post further assessment on Lloris injury on Monday, the Spurs have now stated, “the findings have shown that although surgery will not be required, our club captain has suffered ligament damage and is not expected to return to training before the end of 2019,” in a statement released by them.

This also plies that the 32-year-old star shot-stopper will go on to miss as many as four Euro 2020 qualifying matches.
