Romero to miss Tottenham season, but likely to make Argentina's World Cup opener

Tottenham captain, Cristian Romero, sustained an injury midway through the second half when Sunderland forward, Brobbey, pushed him, causing a collision with the goalkeeper.

However, things are not looking good for the Argentine, raising concerns about the severity of his condition, with initial examinations indicating a knee ligament injury. According to international media reports, further tests will be conducted in the coming days to determine the extent of the damage.

According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, Romero will miss the remainder of the season with Tottenham, as he is expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks.

While this development may not be welcome news for the London club, it is for the Argentine National Team. This injury offers Romero the opportunity to fully recover and be ready for his country's World Cup campaign, set to take place in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.

Argentina's World Cup opener in Group 10 is scheduled for June 16 against Algeria, meaning Romero will face a race against time to be fit for the match.
