Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero will not participate in the match against Aston Villa.
In an unexpected change, Cristian Romero was substituted by Kevin Danso in the Tottenham Hotspur’s starting lineup for the crucial Premier League clash against Aston Villa.
The announcement was made shortly after the team finished their warm-up in North London. In addition, it was confirmed that Micky van de Ven will lead the team in Romero’s absence.
Romero, who has been a key piece in the team’s scheme, had completed the full 90 minutes in each of Tottenham’s previous seven matches this season, showcasing an outstanding performance alongside Van de Ven under the coach’s direction.
The Argentine defender participated in the friendly against Venezuela during the recent international break, although he remained on the bench in the match against Puerto Rico.
For his part, Danso has made seven appearances in all competitions this season, with this match against Villa being his first start in the Premier League.
The other change in Tottenham’s starting lineup was the inclusion of Djed Spence in place of Destiny Udogie.
He returned from international commitments with a slight irritation in his knee. It’s nothing serious. He won’t be out for long.
