Cristian Romero
28-Year-Old
Tottenham Hotspur
Premier
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 6/16/2026
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.

Barcelona could move for him
Barcelona could attempt to sign Romero during the summer transfer window, according to Diario AS.
ANALYSIS
Romero is widely expected to leave Tottenham in the summer, with the Argentina center-back being widely expected to choose one of the top clubs chasing him. Romero is keen to play for Barcelona, and while Los Blaugranas are intrigued by the possibility, a few dominoes have to fall for the deal to go through. If Barcelona are unable to sign Alessandro Bastoni, they'd target a move for Romero.
