"Romero was reduced to tears as he left the pitch after 70 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 loss at Sunderland, following a coming together with striker Brian Brobbey that led to the Argentinian clattering into his own goalkeeper, Antonin Kinsky."
"Tottenham, who closed the weekend in 18th, are almost certainly without a key player for the remaining six matches of the campaign, a spell that will determine whether they are playing in the Premier League or Championship next year."
"Scans have shown the extent of an injury not as bad as first feared though it remains disastrous for a team, yet to win a domestic match in 2026, that has lost 16 times in the league this season."
Cristian Romero's injury has intensified Tottenham's relegation worries as he will miss the remainder of the season. The captain suffered medial knee ligament damage during a match against Sunderland. His absence is critical for a team currently in 18th place, facing six crucial matches that will determine their league status. Despite the injury not being as severe as initially feared, Tottenham's injury list is extensive, with several key players already sidelined. The team has struggled significantly, failing to win a domestic match in 2026 and losing 16 league games this season.
