Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has been dealt a new injury blow ahead of his side's trip to the Etihad Stadium for a clash against reigning Premier League champions Manchester City, with Cristian Romero unlikely to feature this weekend.
Romero came off at halftime in Argentina's 2–1 defeat to Paraguay in 2026 World Cup qualifying action. It appears that Romero suffered an injury to his right foot, the same foot that he also suffered a knock on earlier this season in the home win over Aston Villa in the Premier League when he was substituted off after 61 minutes played.
Postecoglou has already dealt with a few injuries in his backline this season that includes the likes of Destiny Udogie, Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence. Romero is a key cog in the Tottenham backline due to his ability to play out from the back under pressure while also remaining a solid one-on-one defender.
