Doctor: Tottenham star unlikely to play full 90 minutes v Bournemouth

Tottenham defender Cristian Romero is unlikely to play the full 90 minutes against Bournemouth, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.

The injury expert claims that his return to training and how he responds is imminent if he is to be fit for the game at the Vitality Stadium on 5 December.

The Argentina international has been out since mid-November with a knee injury.

Discussing the state of play with Romero exclusively with Tottenham News, Dr Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, shared his verdict.

“How he responds to training will be the key”, he said.

“Whether that’s his pain and discomfort level, movement, and/or confidence on the pitch.

“Playing 90 minutes is unlikely given he’s been out for a month.

“Postecoglou recently said that he wasn’t back in training so he’ll obviously need to train well over the coming days.“

Cristian Romero injury news at Tottenham

Ange Postecoglou will be waiting to count on the 26-year-old’s services, given how important he’s been for Spurs in recent seasons.

In 2023/24, Romero made 33 Premier League starts under Postecoglou and was among the first names on the team sheet.

Hopefully, for the North London outfit, he returns to full fitness as soon as possible and can make them a harder side to play against.
