British media Daily Mail reported on the 10th (Korea time) 'Romero was replaced in 15 minutes after his return from injury. He's having a muscle problem. I don't think I'll be able to play for about six weeks,' the report said.
Tottenham, led by coach Enze Postecoglou, lost 3-4 at home to Chelsea in the 2024-2025 English Premier League (EPL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 9th (Korea time). Tottenham (6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses) has not won three consecutive games, including two consecutive losses. It stayed in 11th place. Chelsea (34 points), on the other hand, jumped to second place.
There was something to pay attention to. It was the simultaneous return of Mickey van der Penn and Romero, who left last month due to injury. Both players have been on the ground as starters for the first time in a long time. The reason was clear. Tottenham have lost their last three games in a row and have failed to secure victory. From Tottenham's point of view, it was necessary to strengthen their defense against Chelsea, the London rival.
There is a problem. About eight minutes into the game, Romero felt something wrong with his leg. Fortunately, he played without difficulty at the time. But Romero collapsed again. He fell to the ground complaining of pain. Medical staff were rushed in. Romero was distressed, his face covered. He couldn't hide his frustration even with the comfort of his colleagues. Eventually Romero was replaced by Radu Dragusin and withdrawn to the bench.
After the game, Postecoglou explained that `Romero felt something.'

Romero was sidelined for a while last month because of an injury. He failed to play in seven matches, including the EPL and Europa League. During this period, Tottenham had three wins, two draws and two losses.
Tottenham is an injury ward. Some of the main players, including Ben Davies, Guglielmo Vicario and Hishalisson, were out due to injuries.
