PAULO GAZZANIGA has insisted he's ready to step in for the injured Hugo Lloris.
The Argentinian shot-stopper said: It’s always the same answer, I’m ready.

“We know we have to be strong. At home, especially, we have to be strong.”

ASTON VILLA are reportedly favourites to land Spurs outcast Eric Dier in January, according to the Birmingham Mail.
The England international has played just three games for Tottenham this season.
The former Sporting Lisbon man has been constantly overlooked with Mauricio Pochettino preferring Harry Winks and Tanguy Ndombele instead.
It has been claimed that Spurs could allow the 25-year-old to leave in the New Year.

LIVERPOOL starlet Harvey Elliott has been handed a two-week FA ban for mocking England skipper Harry Kane as a “f****** m***”.
Elliott was told he will automatically face another ban if he does not undertake an FA education course by February.
And the England under-17 player was also given a rocket by Reds skipper Jordan Henderson, who read him the riot act and told him he had damaged the image of the club.
Teenage winger Elliott, who joined the Anfield side from Fulham in the summer, posted a video on Snapchat on June 1, the day of Spurs’ Champions League Final defeat to Liverpool.
Putting on a fake voice, Elliott said: “I’m Harry Kane and I’m a f****** m***” while also grunting.
The video went viral after Elliott, 16, posted it on his girlfriend’s account, with the youngster making a public apology to Kane at the end of July.
FA disciplinary beaks received a complaint from the Centre for Access to Football in Europe accusing Elliott of post a derogatory message.
Elliott was charged with “aggravated” misconduct because of the reference to disability.

TOTTENHAM should stick with Mauricio Pochettino and not sack him in favour of Jose Mourinho, believes Dimitar Berbatov.
The Spurs boss is under huge pressure following a shocking start to the season in the Premier League and cup competitions.
And the former North London striker – a Betfair ambassador – believes the squad needs a complete overhaul.
He said: “Pochettinho is the guy that needs to stay there, he's been there for a long time.
“There has been a lot of talk about Mourinho taking over at Spurs, I think he would have difficulty as well.
“Would he make Spurs better? I don't know because it is the same team.
“Yes you can have a bit of a lift in the beginning, like Manchester United did when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came in.
“Maybe they need to shake things up and try to push the players in a way.”
