Argentina call up Spurs' Romero for World Cup qualifiers

Argentina have named Tottenham defender Cristian Romero in their forthcoming squad for World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil.

The 26-year-old has not featured for his club since suffering a thigh injury during a 4-3 Premier League defeat by Chelsea on 8 December.

Spurs have carefully managed Romero's recovery, given injuries have limited the defender to just 12 Premier League appearances this term.

He has resumed first-team training but is yet to make his competitive return.

Spurs play four times - twice in the Europa League and twice in the Premier League - before the international break.
