Ange Postecoglou delivers Cristian Romero injury update amid huge Tottenham blow

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has delivered an update on Cristian Romero's recent injury issue, revealing that the Argentina international is set for around a month on the sidelines. Romero was taken off at half-time of Spurs' recent clash against Everton with a suspected hamstring problem.

And it is bad news regarding the talented centre-back's issue. Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of tomorrow's clash against Brighton & Hove Albion, Postecoglou said: «Not so great with Romero.

»He had a scan and he's got a hamstring strain. We're looking at four to five weeks with him."

It is a huge blow for the north Londoners, who already have several injuries throughout the first-team. Fellow centre-half Micky van de Ven is also on the sidelines having sustained a hamstring problem during last month's 4-1 defeat to Chelsea.

The Dutch international recently revealed that he hopes to return to training in a couple of weeks, with Postecoglou now responding in a coy fashion. When asked about Van de Ven's comments, the Spurs manager said: «Where did he say that? Ah the darts.

»I wouldn't put too much in what the players say mate. I don't think [he'll be back for] Burnley, maybe for Man United but I wouldn't know until I see him in training.

«He's at the tail end of it now.»
