Tottenham suffer injury scare after Cristian Romero suffers thigh injury in Argentina's draw with Brazil... with north London side waiting to assess the extent of the problem

Tottenham have been left sweating on the fitness of Cristian Romero after he went off with a hamstring injury in Argentina's draw with Brazil on Tuesday night.

The 23-year-old centre-back fell to the floor clutching his left thigh early in the second half and was replaced with 37 minutes of regulation time remaining by Real Betis defender German Pezzella.

Lionel Scaloni's men earned the point they needed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar in a goalless stalemate with their arch rivals and with other results going their way.
