As we know, Romero has been sidelined for a long time at Tottenham, leaving fans concerned about his return to the pitch, as his presence has certainly been missed. Dr Rajpal Brar, an injury expert and sports scientist, has provided an explanation as to why the defender’s recovery has taken so long.

Neither defender has played in the Premier League since sustaining injuries in December's 4-3 loss against Chelsea.

Throughout Tottenham's difficult winter, as Dragusin and Gray racked up the minutes for a sinking side, the fitness of Romero and Van de Ven has hung over the club, their returns intrinsically tied for many supporters to Spurs' hopes of salvaging the season.

Spurs are expecting to have three players back from injury in 'the next two or three weeks' according to Ange Postecoglou
