Cristian Romero has been ruled out of Tottenham’s Premier League trip to Manchester City on Saturday.
The defender is still struggling with the injury he suffered in the win over Aston Villa before the international break.
Romero was forced off while on international duty with Argentina last week too before missing their win over Peru on Wednesday.
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou confirmed on Friday the World Cup winner would not make the game with City on Saturday, though did sound hopeful Romero’s injury was not particularly serious.
"Romero won't be right for tomorrow's game,” he said.
“We're hoping he'll be right for next week."
The Spurs boss will also be without fellow centre-back Micky van de Ven. The Dutchman is back in training following a recent hamstring injury but will not be rushed back into action.
“Micky is still a couple of weeks away,” revealed Postecoglou on Thursday.
“He is on the grass training but he is still a coulee of weeks away. We’re hoping by the middle of December he is back and available to play.”
