Cristian Romero avoids bone injury, could be available for Argentina qualifiers

Cristian “Cuti” Romero might still be available for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers despite an injury concern. The 26-year-old center back had to leave the pitch 15 minutes into the second half during Tottenham’s 4-1 victory over Emiliano Martinez’s Aston Villa, raising doubts about his availability for Argentina’s qualifiers against Paraguay and Peru.

Medical examinations have confirmed that Romero did not suffer a bone fracture but rather ligament damage in his right big toe. This type of injury does not completely rule him out of Argentina’s upcoming matches.

Coach Lionel Scaloni has called Romero up for the November 14 away match against Paraguay and the November 19 home match against Peru.
