Antonio Conte has revealed the availability of Cristian Romero and Rodrigo Bentancur ahead of Tottenham's New Year's Day clash against Aston Villa. Romero missed Spurs' Premier League return against Brentford after being given time off following Argentina's World Cup win, while Bentancur was absent after suffering an injury with Uruguay at the World Cup.
After conceding two soft goals against Brentford, Conte will be boosted by the return of Romero who will be available for selection against Aston Villa after showing great focus in training upon his return.
"Romero is back and he's available for the game against Aston Villa," Conte said. "From what I saw in last few days in training session, I have seen him with great focus and great desire to come back and play for us. For sure I am really happy for him and it is important to have in our team two World Cup champions.
