Cristian Romero Ruled Out For Four To Five Weeks With Hamstring Injury

Tottenham Hotspur will likely be without star center-back Cristian Romero until early February due to a hamstring injury.

Romero was subbed off at half-time in Saturday's 2-1 win over Everton.

With Micky van de Ven also injured, Spurs played the second half of that game with Ben Davies and Eric Dier as central defenders.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou was asked for an update on Romero at a press conference on Wednesday.

He replied: "Not so great with Romero. He had a scan the other day and he's got a hamstring strain.

"So we're looking at probably four weeks, five weeks for him."

Ivan Perisic, Rodrigo Bentancur, James Maddison, Ryan Sessegnon and Alfie Whiteman are also currently on Tottenham's injury list.
