Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has disclosed that defender Cristian Romero will be out for four to five weeks due to a hamstring strain, following his recent return from a suspension.
This setback is particularly frustrating for the team, considering Romero’s stabilizing presence in the defense.
Another central defender, Micky van de Ven, is also recovering from a hamstring injury and may potentially return to training around mid-January, with a tentative comeback date earmarked for the match against Manchester United on January 14th.
Despite the possibility of his return, Postecoglou emphasizes the need for cautious assessment and integration into the team due to the extended absence.
Spurs have the opportunity to move ahead of Aston Villa in the Premier League standings if they secure a win against Brighton.
