The British media Evening Standard predicted on the 25th (Korea Standard) that Romero will play in the next game, Brighton and Hove Albion away, despite being replaced against Everton in the aftermath of a hamstring injury. 온라인카지노
Tottenham won 2-1 against Everton in the 18th round of the 2023/24 Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 24th, defending the consecutive goals of Hicharlisson and Son Heung-min in the early hours of the first half.
After ending its losing streak that began in November, Tottenham rekindled its race for ranking by winning three consecutive games. With this victory, Tottenham advanced to fourth (11 wins, three draws, four losses, 36 points), beating Manchester City (34 points), which did not hold this round, to participate in the FIFA Club World Cup. The team narrowed the gap to Aston Villa, ranking third, and Liverpool, ranking second (39 points), by one game.
Romero, who started against Everton, only played in the first half and replaced Eric Dier. Manager Ange Postecoglou explained in a press conference after the game that he replaced Romero as a precaution. Postecoglou said, “Romero had a sore hamstring just before half-time. So we had to replace him.”
“After Romero was replaced, he had an icing on his right leg and took the second half off. But after the game, he walked freely,” the media said. “He will undergo an examination before the game and is expected to start in the away match against Brighton along with Ben Davies.”
Argentina centre-back Romero is Tottenham’s vice-captain and key defender, who has great support within his team, but has been criticised for his rough handling of tackles. Romero received nine yellow cards and one red card in the league alone during the 2022/23 season. Considering his record of 27 appearances, he has received one yellow card in every three matches.
However, he displayed stable defense capability along with Mickey Van der Pen this season, showing improvement in his performance. Although he started all 11 games since the season’s opening, he seemed to have eased his offense by receiving only one yellow card, but he showed his old instinct in the 11th round of the league against Chelsea on April 7.
Romero, who started against Chelsea, made a dangerous tackle on his fellow Argentine national team player and Chelsea midfielder Enso Fernandez in the penalty box in the 33rd minute of the first half when Tottenham was leading 1-0. Video reading (VAR) was later activated, and the referee gave Chelsea a penalty and took out Romero a red card at the same time.
Due to Romero’s penalty, Tottenham finished the first half 1-1. To make matters worse, even Mickey Van der Pen, who had been struggling after Romero’s exit, was replaced with a thigh injury. In addition, Tottenham faced Chelsea with nine players in the second half and suffered a come-from-behind defeat with a score of 1-4.
Romero, who was sent off directly for a dangerous foul, could not avoid disciplinary action after three games. With Van der Pen out due to injury, even Romero failed to come out due to disciplinary action, and Tottenham, who had no player to hold the center of the defense, fell into a quagmire for three consecutive games after losing both the Wolverhampton Wanderers-Aston Villa series after Chelsea.
In particular, Tottenham desperately felt Romero’s absence as they failed to keep their lead and suffered a come-from-behind defeat despite scoring the first goal in all three games, including the match against Chelsea. Back, Romero opened fire with the first goal against West Ham United, but his team lost. He started four consecutive games, including this one, but only the first half of the match against Everton was played and replaced.
Romero’s most recent injury is also a hamstring injury. However, he suffered a hamstring injury at the end of October last year and has been around for about a year. He also had a hamstring injury in November 2021, which he missed for 80 days.
Meanwhile, the media predicted that Tottenham would set up a starting line-up similar to the game against Everton. As Udogi, who missed the match against Everton due to accumulated warning disciplinary action, returns, he is expected to take the left full-back position instead of Emerson Royal. Tottenham’s away match to Brighton will be held at 4:30 a.m. on the 29th at the Amex Stadium in Brighton.
