The Standard have revealed that Cristian Romero is expected to be fit for the clash against Brighton on Thursday despite coming off with a hamstring problem against Everton.
Romero came off at the interval against the Toffees on Saturday, with Eric Dier replacing the Argentine, and Tottenham somehow managed to hold on for a 2-1 win despite being second-best for large parts of the second-half.
Spurs fans would have been quite concerned when they saw Romero sitting on the bench with an ice pack on his right leg during the second period, particularly with Micky van de Ven already out injured.
However, the centre-back provided a promising update on Instagram after the game, insisting that he ‘will recover quickly’.

Romero expected to feature against Brighton
The Standard have now claimed that the Spurs vice-captain is expected to recover in time to make the trip to the Amex Stadium on Thursday.
The outlet says that as things stand, the 25-year-old is ‘considered likely’ to start alongside Ben Davies against the Seagulls as Spurs look to make it four wins in a row.
Destiny Udogie is also available against selection against Roberto Di Zerbi’s side after serving his one-match suspension against Everton.
Spurs Web Opinion
Even though Brighton have not been great over recent weeks, Tottenham are going to need to be defensively switched on for all 90 minutes to emerge with three points from the Amex Stadium. Postecoglou desperately needs Romero to be fit, given the other key players he is already without.
