Tottenham Hotspur’s Cristian Romero is expected to make a swift return to the starting lineup for their upcoming match against Brighton, as per Standard Sport reports.
The defender, who faced concerns over a tight hamstring during the Everton game, is poised for a late evaluation but is likely to feature alongside Ben Davies.
This development comes as a relief for Spurs supporters, who were concerned about Romero’s injury status after he was substituted at halftime during the previous match.
Ange Postecoglou, facing a shortage of top-class center-back options, heavily relies on Romero’s presence in the squad.
With Micky van de Ven sidelined due to a hamstring issue, the Argentinean’s potential absence would have added to Tottenham’s defensive woes.
Ange has previously faced a situation where both Romero and VDV were absent at the same time. Romero served a three-game suspension following the Chelsea defeat, while the Dutch defender was sidelined due to injury. During this period, Spurs went winless for four games.
Spurs have returned to winning ways with three consecutive victories, taking them back into the top 4 and positioning them above Manchester City.
