Antonio Conte reveals when Cristian Romero will return | OneFootball

Tottenham are set to bring back an important player as Antonio Conte claims summer signing Cristian Romero will return to play after the international break.

The €55m centre-back has been out of action since suffering a hamstring injury back in November and Conte is thrilled to have him back soon.

“Cristian Romero, I am pleased because I am seeing how he is almost 100 per cent fit and he is very very close to coming back, and for sure after the international break he is available to play and help us.

“We are talking about another important player for us. He missed two months, despite this I see in a positive way.

“I have seen the improvement of players like Ben Davies, Davinson Sanchez, Japhet Tanganga and I think we exploited this period without Cristian and saw the improvement of these three central defenders.

“I want to see the positive way about the injury of Cristian but now he is ready and after the international break he will play again and this is good news for us.”

Prior to his injury, Romero had featured 13 times for Spurs and had started six of their last seven Premier League contests.
