The bizarre rule that means Cuti Romero will miss the Liverpool clash | OneFootball

Cristian “Cuti” Romero will miss Tottenham’s visit to Liverpool next Sunday for Matchday 30 of the Premier League, as the concussion protocol prevents him from playing due to the heavy blow he suffered on Tuesday in the 5-2 defeat against Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League round of 16.

Romero tried to clear the ball but collided with his Portuguese teammate Joao Palhinha, who had the same intention and will also miss the match against the Reds. After the impact and receiving medical attention, the central defender from Córdoba tried to continue. However, shortly after, he crouched down and was able to leave the field without assistance.

The Spurs will also be without Dutchman Micky van de Ven and Ivorian Yves Bissouma, both due to physical problems. In addition, Conor Gallagher has a fever, although it appears he will start at Anfield.

On the matter, coach Igor Tudor commented: “We have a big problem putting together the starting eleven. We start to build something and suddenly something happens, like a red card or three or four injuries. It’s very strange, I’ve never had this situation in my career, but you have to accept it.”

The London side is sixteenth in the Premier League with just 29 points, one more than West Ham, who are on the relegation line, as a result of seven wins, eight draws, and fourteen losses. In fact, they have lost their last five matches in the domestic league.
