Tottenham defender Cristian Romero is facing up to four weeks out with a muscle injury, according to reports.
Romero has become a key figure at Spurs since joining the club from Atalanta last year, and has started both of their league matches so far this term.
However, he picked up a muscle problem during Tottenham's 2-2 draw against Chelsea on Sunday, and has been ruled out for three to four weeks, as reported by Football London.
