The defender left the pitch in tears in Tottenham’s game against Sunderland.
After sustaining a knee injury during Tottenham Hotspur’s loss to Sunderland, Cristian Romero is predicted to miss five to eight weeks.
The defender is expected to miss the rest of the Premier League season after Brian Brobbey slammed him into Antonin Kinsky.
This season, the North London side have suffered an unprecedented amount of injuries, and the most recent information regarding Romero only makes things worse.
The Lilywhites are trying to stay in the Premier League, but Roberto De Zerbi will have to cope without his skipper for the next six games.
Cristian Romero is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury
Cristian Romero’s season at Tottenham appears to be coming to an early end with just six weeks left in the Premier League. Romero’s career at Tottenham may also be coming to an end, as the defender is anticipated to leave the North London team during the upcoming transfer window.
However, the 27-year-old will still have time to recover in order to start for Argentina. His 2026 FIFA World Cup ambition is still very much alive.
Argentina’s supporters were unexpectedly relieved by the doctors’ decision, despite the unsettling pictures of the player crying as he was replaced.
Cristian Romero’s ligaments are intact. A two-month recuperation period should enable him to return to peak fitness in time for the World Cup. The injury proved to be less serious than first thought.
This is great news for the national team because one of their top defenders will be well-rested and won’t have to worry about exacerbating his injury during the league’s final rounds.
