The Standard has revealed that Cristian Romero is expected to be fit for Thursday’s game against Brighton, although he had a hamstring problem against Everton.
Romero came off at the break against the Toffees on Saturday, the Argentine was replaced by Eric Dier, and Tottenham somehow managed to hold on for a 2-1 win despite being on the back foot for most of the second half.
Spurs fans would have been quite worried to see Romero sitting on the bench with an ice pack on his right leg during the second half, especially when Micky van de Ven was already injured.
However, the central defender posted a promising message on Instagram after the game saying that he would “recover quickly”.
The Standard now claims that the Spurs vice-captain is expected to be healed in time to travel to the Amex Stadium on Thursday.
The paper says the 25-year-old is “likely” to start alongside Ben Davies against the Seagulls as Spurs attempt to make it four wins in a row.
Destiny Udogie is also available against Roberto Di Zerba after serving a one-match suspension against Everton.
Although Brighton have not been great in recent weeks, Tottenham will need to be switched on in defence for the full 90 minutes to come away from the Amex Stadium with three points. Postecoglou desperately needs Romero to be healthy as he is already without other key players.
