Cristian Romero’s injury has been updated by Lionel Scaloni ahead of matches involving Argentina and Tottenham.
Cristian Romero’s fitness has been updated by Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni following concerns over the Tottenham defender’s readiness for international action.
Cristian Romero is “fit to play” in Argentina’s World Cup qualifying match against Bolivia on Tuesday, according to manager Lionel Scaloni. On Thursday night in his home nation, playing the whole 90 minutes as the World Cup champions defeated Ecuador 1-0, Spurs were concerned about an injury to their center-back.
The player’s physical condition was in doubt because reports out of Argentina suggested that the 25-year-old had suffered a minor injury to his right leg. After that, it was stated that a decision will be taken regarding whether he would travel with the team to Bolivia on Tuesday for the match or possibly even go back to England.

However, there was some good news on Saturday night for everyone associated with the club, when Romero was captured in pictures posted on the official website and Twitter of the national team hugging Manchester United’s Lisandro Martinez and another player on the practise pitch.
Argentina manager Scaloni gave a positive report on Romero and Manchester United’s Martinez during a press conference on Sunday, giving Tottenham more encouragement about the player’s fitness.

We are pleased with the performance, and we are all aware of the altitude.
Ange Postecoglou already has two players who can prevent Tottenham from spending millions on transfers in 2024.
“On occasion, the replacements—and sometimes even the replacements—can be more crucial than the starters. We’ll wait till tomorrow since there might be another change, but the fundamentals will remain the same.
Tottenham fans will hope that Romero is healthy enough to play in Saturday’s Premier League match against Sheffield United if he does participate in the game in La Paz. After the match against the Blades, Tottenham has games against Arsenal and Liverpool planned for the month of September.
