del Romero’s leave?
Cuti Romero was once again a figure in Tottenham’s defensive system. But the Argentine had to leave the field in the 59th minute after a tough challenge against Morgan Rogers, the Aston Villa attacker.
The Argentine avoided a counterattack with a hard sweep in the middle of the field. Cuti Romero saw the yellow card for that foul. However, that wasn’t the worst.
Seconds later, after rejoining, Cuti Romero realized that he could not walk normally due to an injury to the instep of his right foot.
