More great Tottenham news! Remember how Cuti Romero was substituted in the second half of Argentina’s most recent CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier a couple days ago? Well, just in case you were holding out hope that it wasn’t a significant injury, we now have this from Gaston Edul.
Cuti Romero quedó desafectado de la Selección Argentina.
No juega contra Perú.
Se está volviendo a Europa.— Gastón Edul (@gastonedul) November 17, 2024
Cuti Romero was released from the Argentina national time. He will not play against Peru. He is returning to Europe.
Well… shit. Returning to London doesn’t mean that it’s a SERIOUS serious injury, but it’s significant enough that he can’t play for Argentina again in this international cycle, which makes it less likely that Cuti will be fit to play against City next weekend.
I hate it here, this is the worst timeline.
If Cuti can’t go then we’re looking at another central defensive pairing of Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies. And while Davies has been actually pretty okay as a defensive sub, it’s not exactly the pairing you’d want against the preseason presumptive Premier League champions, is it?
