Romero, known for his robust defensive skills and aggressive style of play, has been a key figure in Tottenham’s backline. His absence will be felt as Spurs prepare to face the reigning champions, Manchester City. The 26-year-old has previously played for clubs such as Atalanta and Juventus before joining Tottenham.
