Tottenham’s Cristian Romero ruled out for the rest of the season, according to sources.
Tottenham defender Cristian Romero will be sidelined for the rest of the season due to a knee injury sustained during the 1-0 loss to Sunderland, as reported by ESPN Argentina.
The Spurs captain was shoved from behind by Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey and collided with goalkeeper Antonín Kinsky midway through the second half, leading to his substitution for Kevin Danso.
Romero’s immediate reaction raised concerns about the potential severity of the injury, and initial examinations indicated damage to his knee ligament.
Additional assessments will be conducted in the upcoming days to determine the extent of the injury.
Sources informed Martín Arévalo on Buenos Dias ESPN that the defender could be out for a period of five to eight weeks, with the club expected to provide an official update in the near future.

This timeline would result in him missing the remainder of the season for Tottenham, who have fallen to 18th place in the Premier League standings following the defeat at the Stadium of Light.
However, with just under two months remaining until the World Cup, this could allow Romero to regain full fitness in time for Argentina’s title defense in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada this summer.
