LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Bad news for Roberto De Zerbi’s Tottenham Hotspur, who will have to try to secure relegation without their captain, former Genoa and Atalanta defender Cristian Romero. Injured in yesterday’s loss to Sunderland, the 27-year-old Argentine suffered a high-grade partial tear of the medial collateral ligament in his knee:
He’s expected to miss two months, the World Cup hangs in the balance, but above all he won’t be available for the final six matchdays of the Premier League, where Spurs are currently third-bottom, two points behind the relegation zone. Meanwhile, on the transfer front, negotiations are reportedly already well underway to sign Andy Robertson, a 32-year-old left-back on a free transfer, who will be having a fine season at Liverpool. Clearly, his salary is tied to Tottenham’s continued Premier League status.
