Cristian Romero made his comeback for Tottenham against Bournemouth on Sunday – but it did not go to plan. The Argentina international has not been available for Ange Postecoglou since the 4-3 defeat against Chelsea on December 8th, having suffered hamstring damage at the same time as Micky van de Ven.

Tottenham Hotspur have given the green light to Cristian Romero’s inclusion in the Argentina squad, despite the fact the defender has not played this year.

Cristian Romero has made a quite remarkable statement about his recovery from injury having made his return to the Tottenham Hotspur starting lineup on Sunday. Romero made his first appearance since December in the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
