Cuti Romero left the pitch in tears after picking up an injury in Spursâ 1-0 loss at Sunderland on Sunday (Sundayerland? Letâs go with that, finally). Well, I say âpicked up an injuryâ but it was really caused by Bryan Brobbey two-handed shoving him into keeper Antonin Kinsky, something that injured both players.
According to ESPNâs Martin Arevalo, that Brobbey shove is likely the end of Cutiâs season, and quite possibly his Tottenham career if Spurs donât manage to save themselves from relegation. Arevalo reports that Romero has picked up a knee injury and will be out for the next 5-8 weeks.
Considering Spurs have six matches left, thereâs serious doubt that heâll be ready in time for any of Tottenhamâs run-in. If itâs an MCL injury, which is what was surmised, the shorter recovery time means that he could still be part of Argentinaâs squad for this summerâs World Cup, which is fantastic for him. Not so much for us.
I still am baffled by match official Rob Jonesâ decision to not even whistle Brobbey for a foul, when he clearly shoved Romero directly into Kinsky. VAR couldnât adjudicate it because it wasnât whistled by Jones at the time, and VAR cannot retroactively issue cards that go against the match officialâs on-pitch decision. That was very clearly at minimum a yellow card worthy offense, which wouldâve been Brobbeyâs second and a red. Instead we end up with two injured players (Kinsky had a cut on his head and will be fine) and a loss in what was one of the worst officiated matches Iâve seen in a very, very long time.
As you can tell, Iâm still angry about this. We might have just witnessed the last appearance by Romero in a Spurs shirt, as itâs pretty clear heâs going to ask to be sold if Spurs are relegated. If they save themselves though⊠well, letâs not cross that bridge until we come to it.
Cristian Romero is expected to be sidelined for 5-8 weeks due to his knee injury.
Romero's injury was caused by a two-handed shove from Bryan Brobbey, which sent him crashing into goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky.
If Romero's injury is an MCL issue with a shorter recovery time, he may still be eligible for Argentina's squad in the upcoming World Cup.
