Romero likely to miss Spurs final run-in due to injury

Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt a fresh injury blow with reports that Cristián Romero is at risk of playing another game for the relegation-threatened side this season.

The defender was injured on Sunday after a collision with goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky as he was shielding the ball from the on-rushing Brian Brobbey.

While Kinsky escaped with a head wound, Romero needed to be replaced by Kevin Danso with Spurs ultimately going on to lose the game 1-0.

According to Argentinian journalist Martin Arevalo, Romero suffered a knee injury that will see him out of action for five to eight weeks with Spurs' final fixture of the season taking place at home to Everton on May 24th.

Romero's absence will be a blow to Roberto De Zerbi with the defender the club's joint second-highest scorer in the Premier League this season with four goals – the same as centre-back partner Micky van de Ven.

The good news for Romero at least is that he would be expected to return ahead of this summer's World Cup.
