Thomas Frank provides touch-and-go update on Cristian Romero ahead of Tottenham vs Monaco
Thomas Frank has spoken about whether Tottenham captain Cristian Romero could be fit to face Monaco in the Champions League on Wednesday.
The Tottenham captain was ruled out of the clash against Aston Villa in the last minute after facing an issue during the warm-up.
That meant that Kevin Danso was handed his first start of the season alongside Micky van de Ven, and the Austrian gave a very good account of himself.
He more than held his own against Villa’s pacy frontline while his long throws were a constant threat, but Tottenham fans will be hoping that Romero’s issue is not serious.
Thomas Frank provides an update on the fitness of Tottenham captain Cristian Romero
Spurs suffered another bruising defeat at home as Villa came back from a goal down to win 2-1, owing to two excellent strikes, one in each half.
Speaking after the defeat, the Tottenham boss was asked what Romero’s issue was, and he responded (via the club’s official website): “It was a minor adductor issue, nothing big.”
The Lilywhites now have a huge game coming up in the Champions League as they get set to travel to France to take on Monaco.
When asked if the Argentine will be fit for Wednesday’s clash, Frank responded: “I don’t know. He could be, he couldn’t. I just don’t know.
“Right now, if I’m honest, I had one focus – I went into the changing room and then I spoke to the players and then I prepared a little bit for Anthony for the questions they’re going to have. And then I worry about the players tomorrow.”
Monaco will be without a key man for Spurs clash
It is not just Tottenham who will be without a key defender, with the Ligue 1 side also set to be without the services of one man that Spurs fans know very well.
There will be no Tottenham reunion for Eric Dier, who has been ruled out of Wednesday’s clash through injury.
That will be a big blow for the French side as the former Spurs man has emerged as a leader in this young Monaco side since his summer switch.
