Argentina name injured Cristian Romero in squad for World Cup qualifying matches
Tottenham defender Cristian Romero has been called up to Argentina's preliminary squad for their World Cup qualifying matches later in March despite not playing competitively this year. Romero has been sidelined with a groin injury since he limped off during Spurs' 4-3 loss at home to Chelsea on December 8. The centre-back was spotted training towards the end of January but has yet to return with his recovery described as a 'slow-burner' by Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou, who has more recently revealed Romero is close to a comeback. #SelecciónMayor Prelista de convocados para la doble fecha de #Eliminatorias ante Uruguay y Brasil 🫡 — 🇦🇷 Selección Argentina ⭐⭐⭐ (@Argentina) March 2, 2025 Nevertheless, Romero's inclusion in the preliminary squad for Argentina's World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay (March 21) and Brazil (March 26) is likely to raise eyebrows. Speaking last Tuesday, Postecoglou explained how Romero was likely to be available for Sunday's visit of Bournemouth or next week Europa League last-16 second leg with AZ Alkmaar (March 13), but set to miss the midweek trip to Netherlands for the first leg on Thursday. 'The first European game I'd say outside chance for any three of them,' Postecoglou said of Romero, Micky van de Ven and Dominic Solanke. 'Certainly they'll be back training fully by then and then we've got Bournemouth on the weekend and I reckon much better odds for that. And definitely, by the second European game they should all be available to play.' Postecoglou later added: 'We've a little window where hopefully we can get something into them and still got two European games and three league games between now and the international break so I really want them up and running by then.'

Tottenham's Cristian Romero included in preliminary Argentina squad for World Cup qualifiers
Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero has been included in a preliminary squad for Argentina's upcoming World Cup qualifiers — despite not playing since December. The 26-year-old has played just 15 minutes of club football since the 2-1 defeat by Ipswich Town on November 10. A combination of a toe injury and, more recently, a hamstring issue have sidelined him for a lengthy period with his only club appearance coming against Chelsea on December 8, where he played a quarter of an hour. Advertisement He played 45 minutes for his country in the final international break before Christmas, against Paraguay, before a three-game absence preceded the Chelsea match. Romero has recently returned to training with head coach Ange Postecoglou indicating last week that he was one of three players — alongside fellow defender Micky van de Ven and striker Dominic Solanke — who had an 'outside chance' to play against AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League on Thursday and had 'much better odds' for the Premier League meeting with Bournemouth at the weekend. Argentina face Uruguay (March 21) and Brazil (March 26) over the international break. #SelecciónMayor Prelista de convocados para la doble fecha de #Eliminatorias ante Uruguay y Brasil 🫡 — 🇦🇷 Selección Argentina ⭐⭐⭐ (@Argentina) March 2, 2025 Former Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso — now of Real Betis — is also part of the squad for the games, as well as Villareal defender Juan Foyth, who played for Spurs between 2017 and 2021. Tottenham return to action following the international window against Chelsea on April 3. Romero has made 112 appearances for Tottenham since joining from Atalanta, initially on loan, in August 2021. This season he has been restricted to just 14 appearances in all competitions. He has 40 caps for his country having made his debut back in June 2021 and was part of the squad that won the World Cup in 2022 and the Copa America twice, in 2021 and 2024.
