Antonio Conte handed surprise Cristian Romero boost for Tottenham as FIFA reach decision

Cristian Romero has been suspended by FIFA for two Argentina matches following the abandoned match against Brazil on September 5, 2021.

The Spurs player, along with the on loan Giovani Lo Celso, were at the centre of a storm that saw the World Cup Qualifier game between Brazil and Argentina suspended after officials from ANVISA - Brazil's national health surveillance agency - walked on to the pitch.

ANVISA claimed that the four Premier League players involved in Argentina's squad - Lo Celso, Romero and Aston Villa's Emiliano Buendia and Emiliano Martinez - had entered the country without declaring that they had arrived from the UK, a country which required isolation upon arrival in Brazil for 14 days.
