The injury issues for Tottenham Hotspur are increasing, causing frustration among supporters.
Defender Cristian Romero has found himself in the news again, but not in a favorable light.
Recently recovered from a toe injury, the 26-year-old center-back had to leave Argentina’s World Cup qualifier against Paraguay at halftime.
Despite enduring pain and needing injections to participate, he was unable to persist, leaving fans and the club anxious about his recovery.
This comes at a critical juncture for Tottenham.
With important games on the horizon, such as a Premier League matchup against Manchester City, Romero’s potential absence would significantly weaken their defense.
Update from Scaloni on Cristian Romero
Following the match, Argentina’s coach, Lionel Scaloni, announced Romero’s exit.
“Cuti [Romero] couldn’t continue,” Scaloni stated, providing minimal details but raising concerns.
It appears the problem is related to his right foot, which had previously caused him issues this season.
Tottenham is anxiously awaiting more information as Romero undergoes further evaluations.
His injury could greatly affect their upcoming matches, including Europa League games and a local derby.
Who will step in for Romero at Spurs?
Coach Ange Postecoglou may need to explore his options within the squad. With Micky van de Ven also unavailable, choices are limited.
Ben Davies and Radu Dragusin have previously stepped in, but defensive stability remains a concern.
Additionally, Tottenham is managing other injuries, as Richarlison and Wilson Odobert are out, and Rodrigo Bentancur is facing disciplinary consequences.
On a positive note, Timo Werner and Mikey Moore are projected to return soon.
As Spurs brace for a challenging period, fans are hoping for a speedy recovery for Romero — or perhaps some luck — to help navigate through these tough times.
