Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank has confirmed a double injury blow for his side, with both Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie ruled out of the game against Monaco.
Spurs have travelled to face Monaco in the Champions League, but they will be without captain Romero.
“It’s an adductor strain,” Frank confirmed. “We will assess it more this week before we confirm any timeframe.”
The Argentine defender had been set to start against Aston Villa on Sunday but picked up his injury in the warm up. He was removed from the lineup and will be absent again tomorrow night.
“No I don’t think so, it’s a strain,” Frank answered on whether fans should be concerned about Romero’s injury.
Udogie also missed last weekend’s Premier League match and he will not be in the squad to face Monaco either. The Dane said: “The latest is that he got that knee irritation after international duty.
“We are assessing and working very hard to get on top of it.
“We’ll know more day by day.”
