Despite coming off at half-time in the recent Argentina game, Cristian Romero has revealed it was merely precautionary and hinted he will be ready for Tottenham’s game against Fulham next week.
As far as Tottenham players go, Cristian Romero is right up there as one of the most important in the squad right now. He is the lynchpin of the Spurs defence, and is even one of Ange Postecoglou‘s vice-captain.
The 25-year-old has formed a brilliant partnership with new signing, Micky van de Ven at the heart of the Spurs defence, and the pair have seemingly rectified one of the biggest issues facing the squad from last season.
Romero is going from strength to strength at the moment, and has been performing admirably for Argentina on international duty over the last week.
However, Romero was removed at half-time in the 2-0 win over Peru and the Evening Standard claimed this was due to injury. A subsequent note from The Athletic revealed it was nothing too serious, though.

Romero puts Spurs fans at ease with injury update
Now, Romero himself has offered his take on the situation, and it sounds like Spurs fans can still expect to see him take the field for the upcoming game against Fulham next Monday.
Speaking to La Voz after the game, Romero said: “The right ankle had swollen too much. That’s why I decided to go out at halftime, since we have an important home game with Tottenham Hotspur on Monday against Fulham.”
Spurs Web Opinion
We cannot lose Cristian Romero right now. Probably more than any other player, he is crucial, as we have so little depth at centre-back at the moment. His leadership skills, experience, and form at the moment are invaluable, and the fact he sounds like he will be fit for Fulham is a big relief.
