According to reports from Argentina, Tottenham Defender Cristian Romero has been ruled out of play for 5-8 weeks following an injury during the match against Sunderland.
An injury sustained towards the end of the season is always a blow, and the Argentine was seen leaving the field in tears following a clash with his goalkeeper, Antonin Kinsky.
According to Argentine journalist Martin Arevalo, the knee injury could keep him out of the field for 5-8 weeks. And this could be crucial for Tottenham as the battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League over the next few weeks.
While this may be bad news for Tottenham, it is good news for Argentina as the Argentine is likely to be fit for the World Cup later this year.
Micky van de Ven is tipped to cover the void that the Argentine'll leave as he has been struggling to hit the heights expected of him this season, so this may be an opportunity to pick up and shine.
