Tottenham to assess Cristian Romero head injury before triggering concussion protocol

Tottenham will assess Cristian Romero before a decision is made on his availability to face Manchester United next weekend after the centre-half was forced off following a clash of heads in the 2-2 draw with Brentford.

Head coach Ange Postecoglou afterwards revealed Spurs did not use a concussion substitute to replace Romero with Davinson Sanchez, having “filled out the wrong slip”, but if an assessment by the club's medical staff confirm a concussion he will be subject to the Premier League's return-to-play protocols, leaving him unavailable for at least six days.
