Trains normally Tuesday
Romero (concussion) was spotted training normally with the team Tuesday and should be an option for Wednesday's second leg clash against Atletico in the Champions League, according to Matt Verri from The Standard.
Analysis: Romero appears to have cleared the concussion protocols after returning to full team training with the squad Tuesday and is now trending toward being available for Wednesday's second-leg showdown against Atletico in the Champions League. That would be a major lift for Spurs, as he continues to anchor the back line and carry the armband. Despite some inconsistent and controversial outings this season, his presence remains central to the team's defensive structure and leadership.
Won't play vs. Liverpool
Romero (concussion) is out for Sunday's game against Liverpool, according to manager Igor Tudor. "No, Romero and Palhinha out."
Analysis: Romero exited Tuesday's UCL loss to Atletico Madrid following a head collision with Joao Palhinha, who will miss the game as well. Losing Romero is a massive blow for a Spurs team that will also be without Micky van de Ven (suspension), leaving Kevin Danso and Radu Dragusin poised to start at center-back. Romero's next chance to play will be the return leg of the UCL tie against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, March 18.
