Arabic version: كريستيان روميرو من توتنهام يغيب عن الموسم بسبب إصابة في الركبة
Tottenham captain Cristian Romero is set to miss the rest of the season with the knee injury he sustained in their 1-0 defeat at Sunderland. The 27-year-old Argentina defender looked visibly upset as he limped off following a collision with goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky in the Premier League fixture at the Stadium of Light on Sunday.
According to BBC News, tests revealed that Romero has a high-grade partial tear of his medial cruciate ligament, which will sideline him for up to eight weeks. This injury raises concerns about his participation in the Argentina squad for the upcoming World Cup.
Romero’s absence poses a significant challenge for newly-appointed head coach Roberto de Zerbi, who is striving to keep Tottenham from relegation. De Zerbi acknowledged Romero as a “crucial player” for Spurs, highlighting his importance to the team’s performance.
Currently, Tottenham sits at 18th place in the Premier League, two points behind West Ham, who are just above the drop zone. The team now faces a critical period as they prepare for their final six matches of the season without their captain.
