Tottenham hit by Cristian Romero blow ahead of trip to Man City - Spurs also set to be without Micky van de Ven for clash with the Premier League champions

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has been dealt a new injury blow ahead of his side's trip to the Etihad Stadium.

Football Insider has learned that Tottenham will demand a "huge" offer to be brought to the table in negotiations for Cristian Romero.

Ange Postecoglou says Tottenham could be without Cristian Romero at Manchester City on Saturday and has revealed when Micky van de Ven could return. Romero’s wife has just had a baby daughter and he is also still struggling with the injury he suffered against Aston Villa and is a doubt for the trip to the Etihad.

It’s not exactly a surprise that Tottenham Hotspur will be missing a few key players ahead of this Saturday’s match against Manchester City at the Etihad, but now we have confirmation. Speaking to Sky Sports (and as reported in the Standard),

Tottenham will take on Manchester City without two of their best players due to injury. Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed that he will be without both Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven for their visit to the Etihad later this evening.
