Tottenham Hotspur star Cristian Romero has suffered a new injury blow and will be out of action for six weeks.
That’s according to D Sports and TyC Sports, and they provide the latest on the 26-year-old’s situation.
After November’s international break, he missed three league game for Tottenham due to a toe injury.
The centre-back returned to action in Spurs’ 4-3 defeat to Chelsea on Sunday but had to be withdrawn after 15 minutes.
D Sport state the Argentina international underwent tests and the results ‘didn’t have any good news’ for him. Journalist Fernando Czyz provided this information, and he states the defender will be sidelined for six to seven weeks.
This means the South American remains doubtful to feature for Tottenham until the end of January.
There were suggestions the Tottenham player had damaged his toe again, which troubled him over the past weeks.
TyC Sports have ruled this out and insist Romero has suffered a new injury blow, with a ‘muscle injury to the quadriceps’. They further add he will be on the sidelines for six weeks.
Both reports state Romero is ‘torn’, and his setback is a blow for Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham.
