AdminTottenham Hotspur’s injury troubles continue to mount, with Cristian Romero now a concern for both club and country.
Since the start of the season, Spurs have battled a series of injuries, with key players like Micky van de Ven, Son Heung-min, Dominic Solanke, Richarlison, and Wilson Odobert all having spells on the treatment table.
Romero himself narrowly avoided a serious foot injury in Spurs’ 4-1 victory over Aston Villa, and despite not being fully fit, was selected to start for Argentina in their 2-1 World Cup qualifying loss to Paraguay on Thursday.
However, the experienced defender was withdrawn at half-time, prompting anxiety within the Tottenham camp.
Renowned Argentine journalist Gaston Edul reported that Romero’s foot injury could sideline him for Argentina’s next match against Peru on Tuesday. “
Cuti Romero is going to get tested,” Edul said on X. “He played with pain in his right foot and is at risk of not playing on Tuesday.”
Romero had already made a swift return from an ankle injury to feature in Spurs’ 2-1 defeat to Ipswich Town last weekend, a decision that raised eyebrows considering his recent struggles.
The 26-year-old completed the full 90 minutes, but now both Romero and Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou face a tense wait as the defender’s fitness is assessed.
With Micky van de Ven also sidelined, Spurs will be hoping Romero’s early exit against Paraguay was nothing more than a defensive measure.
