Tottenham have been dealt a huge injury blow

Tottenham have confirmed that Cristian Romero will miss this afternoon's game against Aston Villa after suffering an injury during the warm-up.

Romero, 27, hadn't missed a single minute for Spurs in the Premier League this season, but his streak will come to an end, as he won't face Villa.

He went to warm up with the rest of his Tottenham teammates but is said to have felt some discomfort and headed straight down the tunnel.

Kevin Danso will replace the Argentina international in the starting line-up and partner Micky van de Ven, who will captain the side, in central defence.

As for the rest of the XI, Guglielmo Vicario will start in goal, while Pedro Porro and Djed Spence are the two full-backs with Destiny Udogie out injured.

Rodrigo Bentancur and Joao Palhinha make up the defensive midfield duo, with Xavi Simons ahead of them both in the No.10 position.

Romero was later spotted in the tunnel alongside Argentina teammate Emiliano Martinez before the two teams walked out at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
