According to Maundo Bocaradio reporter Luis Fregossi, Cristian Romero is questionable for Argentina’s upcoming match against Bolivia due to a knee injury he sustained in the 1-0 victory over Ecuador.
Romero was the standout performer for the Albiceleste in their victory on Saturday, putting up his customary valiant performance to keep Ecuador out.
Lionel Scaloni, the manager of Argentina, called the Tottenham player’s performance “incredible” and even likened the defender to “He-Man” (D-Sports).
Cristian Romero’s injury concerns while representing Argentina
The 25-year-old’s performance appears to have cost him, as it has since been revealed that he hurt himself during the match.
Fregossi has announced on social media that Romero may be unable to go to Bolivia for Tuesday’s match because of a knee injury he sustained against Ecuador (“a contracture in the rectus posterior of his right leg”).
A decision on whether the center-back should return to Tottenham will be made today, the journalist reveals, after an evaluation of the injury’s extent.

Given his dearth of options at center defense, Postecoglou’s nightmare scenario involves Romero’s injury. Tottenham are concerned because the 25-year-old has the type of temperament who would decide to play through a small injury for Argentina, running the danger of more serious harm.
