Romero set to be in Argentina as Spurs battle to avoid drop on final day

South American football expert Tim Vickery has told Talksport that Romero will attend Belgrano's AFA Liga Torneo Apertura final against River Plate on Sunday.

Belgrano president Luis Artime has reportedly confirmed that Romero is allowed to use the club's training facility as he recovers from the injury suffered against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light in April.

Romero recently posted a video of congratulations to Belgrano, who have qualified for their first Argentina Primera Division Apertura final. The final kicks off at 19:30 BST, with Spurs hosting Everton from 16:00.

Since the 2022 World Cup winner's season was confirmed to be over, Romero has been around Roberto de Zerbi's squad and has looked to inspire his team-mates where possible.

Spurs boss De Zerbi praised Romero before Tuesday's defeat by Chelsea, when asked about the defender's future amid links with a summer transfer.

De Zerbi is set to speak to the media later on Friday.

BBC Sport have approached Tottenham for comment.
