Antonio Conte issues fresh Cristian Romero injury update and positive news over Spurs midfielder

Antonio Conte has stated that Cristian Romero will not be available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Wolves through injury. Playing the full 90 minutes in Tottenham's first two games of the Premier League campaign against Southampton and Chelsea, the centre-back sustained a muscle injury late on in the 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.

Certainly a blow for Tottenham due to the player's excellent form, Davinson Sanchez will be the favourite to come into the team and deputise for him. Speaking to the media to preview the Wolves game, the Tottenham head coach offered an update on Romero's injury and claimed that his player wanted to make himself available despite his injury.

"Cristian had a little problem during the game against Chelsea in the final part of the game. But it’s a little problem. After the game he started to feel a bit of pain in his adductor," said the 53-year-old.
