With Cristian Romero injured, Antonio Conte needed to pick one of his other defenders, to take up the role of right centre-back in Tottenham's 1-0 victory over Wolves. As many expected, Davinson Sanchez was given the nod.
football.london understands that Spurs' medical department told the Argentine that the abductor injury would keep him out of action for three to four weeks. Romero wanted to be available for Saturday's game, but the Italian explained that he wasn't going to take the risk.
Sanchez replaced the 24-year-old when he was absent in the final three games of the season, and Tottenham didn't concede a single goal in that time. The Colombian has made his fair share of mistakes in the Spurs' back line, seen last season when the defender slipped and made some mistakes leading to goals.
