Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte rules out defender Cristian Romero for the rest of the year (Video)

Cristian Romero suffered a hamstring injury in Argentina’s World Cup qualifier against Brazil last month, and it seems it’s more serious than thought at first. Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte is obviously unsure about the time of the defender’s potential return to action, but it certainly won’t be within this calendar year.

🗣”The injury is serious and it’s a pity because he is an important player for us but the injury is very serious.”
