Tottenham failed to participate in Dier

Britain's "The Athletic" showed a cautious attitude on the 19th, saying, "Christian Romero's injury to the Argentine national team seems to be more minor than expected," adding, "It probably won't be too difficult to play in the next round."

Tottenham will have a home game against Fulham in the ninth round of the league at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on the 24th. Tottenham, which has been unbeaten in the previous eight league games (6 wins and 2 draws), is in the lead with 20 points, leading Arsenal in a tie or multiple points.

Tottenham has also shown good performance against Arsenal (2-2 draw) and Liverpool (2-1 win), but many say that they have not yet joined the league championship competition in earnest. That's because of the relative lack of depth. Tottenham's lineup is clearly weakened except for key players.

Notably, Son Heung-min and James Medicine of the strikers, Yves Bissouma-Pepesar of the midfield, and Mickey van der Ben and Christian Romero of the defenders are considered important players. In particular, captain Son Heung-min, Medicine, and Romero are supporting the team with overwhelming presence this season. 스포츠토토

Romero was replaced after collapsing from an injury in the match against Peru (Argentina 2-0 win) in the fourth round of the 2026 World Cup South American qualifying round held in Lima, Peru on the 18th. After the game, Romero said, "I asked for a replacement. "My ankle is very swollen due to a collision during the game," he said, explaining his physical condition.

In fact, Argentine media "TYC" said, "Romero took ice packs throughout the half-time after the first half, but he couldn't stand the ankle pain in the second half, so he asked for a replacement." In the end, Romero returned to London right after the match against Peru and is undergoing a thorough examination.

Eric Dier, who hasn't played a single game all season, may play against Fulham if he does something wrong. Fortunately, Romero's appearance against Fulham is not expected to be difficult. The Athletic said, "Romero's ankle has progressed better than expected. Under the current circumstances, it will not be difficult to play against Fulham," he said.

When Romero is out, the diet comes out right away. In the end, due to Tottenham's lack of depth, key players such as Romero, Son Heung-min, and Medicine must avoid injury as much as possible, but the possibility of good performance is expected to increase.
