Cristian Romero injury update as Tottenham defender seeks to push forward return

Cristian Romero is aiming to be back in training sooner rather than later after suffering an adductor muscle injury.

The 24-year-old Argentine was ruled out of Saturday's Premier League match against Wolves with the injury he suffered late on in the match against Chelsea the previous weekend. Despite reports in his native Argentina, the injury in his groin is not believed to have been sustained during a challenge by Chelsea's Marc Cucurella - although that did leave its painful mark - and instead came from another action in the match's latter stages.

football.london understands that Romero was told by Spurs' medical department that the adductor injury would require three to four weeks of recovery time. However, the hardy Argentine was immediately champing at the bit to get straight back into contention and Tottenham boss Antonio Conte confirmed that the defender immediately offered his services to play through the injury in the match against Wolves.
