Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero is set to miss up to five weeks through injury, and we’ve compiled a list of all the fixtures the Argentinian will likely be unavailable for while he recovers.
After being named as one of Ange Postecoglou‘s vice-captains, Cristian Romero has excelled for Tottenham and, one reckless red card against Chelsea aside, has grown into a more responsible leader on the field.
Romero has not only been a dependable figure at the back for Spurs, but has also contributed impressively at the other end, too, with three goals in 15 games this season (Transfermarkt).
Sadly, Romero was replaced at half time in the recent win over Everton, and was spotted with an ice pack on his hamstring.
Postecoglou has now confirmed that the 25-year-old has had a scan on his hamstring and will miss four to five weeks of action through injury (Football.London).

How many games will Romero miss?
This is not good news for Spurs, especially given the fact Micky van de Ven is still suffering from a hamstring injury, too. Here, we take a look at all the games Romero will be unavailable for as he recovers from this injury, across the Premier League and the FA Cup.
December 28 vs Brighton (A) Premier League
December 31 vs Bournemouth (H) Premier League
January 5 vs Burnley (H) Fa Cup
January 14 vs Manchester United (A) Premier League
There is also the fourth round of the FA Cup to consider, should Spurs get past Burnley in the third round. If the Lilywhites are in the draw for the next round, Romero will very likely miss the game, which is set to take place on January 27.
If everything goes to plan, we can expect to see Romero back in action for the Brentford game, on January 31, though that will depend on him getting back to training and being deemed match sharp.
Spurs Web Opinion
One thing’s for sure, we need to sign a new centre back immediately. There should be no messing about in the January window now, we have to have that new player through the door on the first day of 2024.
