He didn’t injure the ligament. Tomorrow, he’ll be back training with the group because the inflammation has gone down. He has a week to get ready and make it to the round of 16. He’s going to make it.”Buena noticia. Cuti Romero se hizo una resonancia y le dió bien. No se lastimó el ligamento. Mañana vuelve a entrenarse a la par porque le bajó la inflamación.Tiene una semana para ponerse a punto y llegar a 16vos de final. Va a llegar. pic.twitter.com/BtfieOyKZG— Gastón Edul (@gastonedul) June 26, 2026Argentina FA president dismisses Romero injury updateIn a twist, the president of the Argentine FA, Chiqui Tapia, has taken to social media to refute Edul’s update on Romero.Tapia accused the journalist of reporting a ‘false claim’, insisting that the Tottenham man is yet to have a scan to assess the damage.Tapia wrote on X: “Be serious when communicating, and when you do, tell the truth. The information being circulated is false: no MRI was performed.”Sean serios a la hora de comunicar y, cuando lo hagan, háganlo con la verdad. La información difundida es falsa: no se realizó ninguna resonancia. https://t.co/IAzg1XVGqn— Chiqui Tapia (@tapiachiqui) June 26, 2026READ MORE: Fabrizio Romano reveals the truth behind Tottenham’s Marcus Rashford transfer rumoursThe post ‘Tell the truth’ – Cristian Romero injury claim is being dismissed as ‘false’ news appeared first on Spurs Web.
