Tottenham’s growing relegation worries have been amplified by the potential season-ending injury to their captain, Cristian Romero. The defender was visibly upset, in tears as he left the field in the 70th minute of Sunday’s 1-0 defeat against Sunderland.
The incident occurred following a collision with striker Brian Brobbey, which subsequently sent the Argentinian crashing into his own goalkeeper, Antonin Kinsky. Early indications suggest that Romero has suffered medial knee ligament damage, with an estimated recovery period of approximately eight weeks.
This significant blow not only impacts Tottenham’s fight to avoid relegation but also casts a shadow over Romero’s availability for the upcoming World Cup, as he may not recover in time for the tournament.
