Impact Romero may have to miss another match or two, but it's a positive update on him and he could be an option before the break. If they really want to take their time, he may be rested until the break, which would allow him to return to complete fitness before getting another start.

Tottenham defender Romero has 'serious' hamstring injury

Tottenham says center back Cristian Romero will be sidelined until at least January because of a “serious” hamstring injury

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Out until at least January Romero will be out until at least January because of a hamstring injury suffered over the international break, confirmed manager Antonio Conte. "The injury is serious. I don't know...

Impact It's a tough break for Tottenham, who have only gotten six league starts from Romero since bringing him in. Unfortunately, his absence comes at the busiest time of the season, meaning Conte may have to tinker the back line more than once in the coming month.

Hamstring injury could be serious Romero is awaiting another scan on his hamstring injury, which Antonio Conte believes to be serious.

Impact Romero suffered the injury more than a week ago over the international break and it's still unknown the severity of it. That's usually bad news and if it's a regular hamstring injury, he'll likely be out around a month. Japhet Tanganga took his spot in the XI over the weekend against Leeds.

Out against Leeds Romero will miss Sunday's match against Leeds and possibly more because of a hamstring injury suffered with the national team, according to manager Antonio Conte.

Impact This was thought to be the case for Romero and he'll get another scan next week to assess his situation. For now, it seems like he'll miss multiple weeks with the injury unless a further scan reveals no damage. Spurs will have to change things up in his absence, possibly to Davinson Sanchez, Japhet Tanganga or Joe Rodon on the back line.

Suffers possible muscle injury Tuesday Romero was forced off early in the second half of Tuesday's match with Argentina with a possible hamstring injury.

Impact Romero only has a few days to recover, so there's a chance he won't be available to Antonio Conte on Sunday. He'll get back to the team late Wednesday and then likely take some tests before possibly taking part in training. For now, there's a decent chance he misses Sunday's match against Leeds, giving way to someone like Japhet Tanganga, Davinson Sanchez or Joe Rodon at center-back.

Busy defensively for draw Romero made three tackles and four blocks during Sunday's 0-0 draw with Everton.

Impact Romero had plenty to do behind the ball and put together some nice defensive volume in the draw. The central defender offers next to no fantasy value in most situations, and isn't one to be relied upon. He remains a fringe option in any match after the international break.

Impact Romero started in all three matches for Argentina over the break, so there's a chance he isn't asked to start Sunday. He's started two of the last three league matches and seems likely to be replaced by Davinson Sanchez, who stayed on the bench for Colombia in their most recent match.

Out after international duty Romero is training in Croatia to avoid a 10-day quarantine and will miss Tottenham's next two matches, reports Evening Standard.

Impact Romero knew this was coming after joining Argentina over the break, so it's not a surprise. He's slowly worked his way into the squad and another absence will likely mean more time out of the starting XI. Sooner or later, he'll get his first Premier League start.
