Cuti Romero shows major recovery progress, 29 days before 2026 World Cup | OneFootball

Wanting to stay in the English capital to await the outcome of Tottenham Hotspur’s fight to stay in the Premier League, the center-back continues his rehabilitation under the supervision of Argentina national team physiotherapist Luis García.

The invisible work is the kind no one sees… and that is exactly what Cristian ‘Cuti’ Romero is doing in London during his rehabilitation after the ligament injury he suffered at Tottenham Hotspur on April 13 in the match the London side played against Sunderland. Working against the clock and aiming to regain top form, the starting defender for the ‘Albiceleste’ is already without a brace and doing rehabilitation exercises.

Under the original plan, the Tottenham captain was going to travel to Buenos Aires, more precisely to the Lionel Messi Training Center in Ezeiza, to complete his rehabilitation, but the player’s commitment to his team’s future, as it fights to avoid relegation from the Premier League, changed those plans and kept him in London.

In this way, the medical staff shifted their work to the English capital, and physiotherapist Luis García traveled there to complete the rehabilitation process of the starter and third captain of the ‘Scaloneta’. Now without a brace, the defender himself included photos in an Instagram reel showing his work with the member of the national team’s medical staff.

The defender’s recovery process was expected to take between 6 and 7 weeks from the time of the injury, which makes the friendlies against Honduras (June 6 in Texas) and Iceland (June 9 in Alabama) vital for getting ‘Cuti’ match fit ahead of the debut against Algeria on June 16 in Kansas.

Beyond the World Cup, Cuti decides his future: Tottenham or Atlético de Madrid?

At the same time, once Tottenham’s fate this season is decided (they still have two matches left against Chelsea and Everton) in their battle to remain in the top flight of English football (they currently occupy the last safe spot, two points ahead of West Ham), ‘Cuti’ Romero must decide his future for next season.

Everything seems to indicate that, despite renewing his contract with Spurs last year through 2029 and the intentions of London club president Peter Charrington (who succeeded Daniel Levy) and CEO Vinai Venkatesham, the Argentine defender wants a change of scenery, and Atlético de Madrid — with ‘Cholo’ Simeone renewed for two more years — could be Cuti’s destination for the 2026/27 season in the post-World Cup era.
