Report: Spurs suffer injury blow with key player set to miss three to four weeks
Tottenham Hotspur have received a significant injury blow following reports that Cristian Romero could is set to miss the next three to four weeks.
Football.London claim the Argentine international sustained a muscular injury during Sunday’s 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, despite having managed to complete the whole 90 minutes.
Romero was involved in a controversial incident in the phase of play before Harry Kane’s late equaliser when he threw Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella to the ground by his hair, but managed to avoid any action from VAR, operated by Mike Dean following review.
The central defender experienced a frustrating time with injuries last season having missed a total of 22 matches across all competitions, mostly due to a hamstring injury which kept him out of action from mid-November until early February (transfermarkt).
The 24-year-old will now likely miss the upcoming fixtures against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Nottingham Forest, West Ham United, Fulham and potentially the difficult trip to the Etihad Stadium to face Premier League champions Manchester City on September 10.

Romero would have been hoping to have avoided injury problems this season after spending so much time on the sidelines during the last campaign. Hopefully it is not a reoccurrence of any previous hamstring issues and he can return to action in time for the trip to Man City.
