Journalist reveals how long Cristian Romero will be missing for Spurs
Argentine journalist Gaston Edul has provided an update on the injury to Cristian Romero, and it is good news for Spurs fans.
Major concerns when Romero hobbled off against Villa
Romero is not one to go off unless he has a serious problem, which is why some Tottenham fans would have been concerned when he asked to be taken off against Villa after injuring his toe.
The situation was particularly concerning, given that his centre-back partner, Micky van de Ven, is already sidelined with a hamstring problem and is not expected to be fit until the end of the international break.
However, it sounds like Tottenham have some good news regarding Romero, whose injury is not as bad as initially feared.
Romero injury update
Gaston Edul has taken to social media to reveal that the 26-year-old has injured the ligaments in his right toe. However, thankfully, there is not thought to be any fracture.
The injury is thus milder than many feared, with the player expected to be back in action in a week or ten days.
That means that Romero could be included in the Argentina squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay and Peru.
One worry for Ange Postecoglou
This means that Cristian Romero will almost certainly miss the Spurs clashes against Galatasaray and Ipswich Town through injury, but the timing of the international break will be a worry for Postecoglou.
We know that the centre-back will be desperate to play for his country even if he is not 100 per cent fit.
The Spurs boss will fear that he could aggravate the problem if he is named in the Argentina squad for their World Cup qualifiers. It would be much better for Romero to sit this one out and remain at Hotspur Way, but I doubt he will.
