Cristian Romero

Romero (knee) is working through his rehabilitation in London under the supervision of one of Argentina's national team physiotherapists, with the six to seven week recovery timeline putting his World Cup participation against Algeria on June 16 firmly in his sights, according to Diario Cronica.

Analysis: Romero had initially planned to travel to Buenos Aires to complete his recovery at the Lionel Messi training complex in Ezeiza, but his commitment to Tottenham's relegation battle convinced him to remain in London. The Argentine captain is already without his brace and working through rehabilitation exercises, with Argentina's pre-tournament friendlies against Honduras on June 6 and Iceland on June 9 shaping up as crucial tune-up matches to get him match-ready before the competition begins.

Done for season

Romero (knee) is out for the rest of the league season due to a partial tear in his MCL, according to Sami Mokbel of BBC.

Analysis: Romero was likely to miss the rest of the season after Sunday's knee injury, but it is now official, only needing further confirmation from his club. The major concern for the defender moving forward is his prospects for the World Cup, as an expected recovery time is around eight weeks, with Argentina starting play on June 16. As a crucial defender for Argentina, he will hope to recover in time. On the other hand, Tottenham's season continues to take turns for the worse, now without another regular starter as relegation becomes more imminent. This will force them to rely on Radu Dragusin and Kevin Danso more heading into the final games of the season.
