When the lineups for the North London Derby came out on Thursday evening, Tottenham fans had to deal with the absence of Cristian Romero. After an injury the Argentine picked up in the 1-1 draw at Anfield, Antonio Conte confirmed that he doesn't know if the defender will return before the end of the season.
This meant Davinson Sanchez had to step-in, to play his first Premier League start since Spurs' 2-0 defeat to Wolves in February. Tottenham's backline have been producing some solid performances, making it nearly impossible for the Colombian to be given an opportunity.
Earlier in the season and when Romero and Eric Dier have both had to deal with injury problems, Sanchez has often been the defender to be given the nod to step in. He has produced some decent performances but often seems to have a mistake in his game, which was a worrying thought for a North London Derby.
