Tottenham will play the 21st round of the Premier League (PL) against Manchester United in the 2023-24 season at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, at 1:30 a.m. on the 15th (Korea time). Tottenham ranks fifth with 39 points, and Manchester United ranks eighth with 31 points.
Ahead of the match against Manchester United, Tottenham confirmed the signing of Timo Werner on loan. Werner is likely to make his Tottenham debut against Manchester United. Attention is focused on how Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou will use Werner.
Tottenham is also nearing the end of signing promising center back Radu Dragucine. Dragucine is known to have arrived in London. Tottenham has been producing results that Postecoglou wants by banking on its aggressive stance since the beginning of the transfer market. 파친코
Even better news came. Romero, the team's vice-captain who had collapsed with a hamstring injury, could return against Manchester United. Romero, who suffered a hamstring injury in the match against Everton just before Christmas in 2023, was expected to return in about four to five weeks.
Romero, who was expected to return at the end of January at the earliest, is making a remarkably fast recovery and is preparing to play in the match against Manchester United. "Romero is making efforts to play in the match against Manchester United. Romero appeared to be absent for about a month after suffering a hamstring injury. However, Romero's recovery appears to have been faster than expected and he could return after three weeks of injury," the British newspaper The Athletic reported on Thursday.
Romero's return is everything for Tottenham. It is from two perspectives. Mickey van der Pen will also come back as a starter in this match against Manchester United. If Romero and van der Pen can play at the same time, Tottenham will lose 100% of their defensive gaps. It is the first full defense since the match against Chelsea in the 11th round.
The second thing is that there will be a player to captain. With Son Heung-min's transfer to the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup and James Madison and Romero's injuries, Tottenham had to have a player, not a captain, as the captain. In the last match against Burnley, Rodrigo Bentancur took on the role of interim captain. When Romero returns, Romero, the vice-captain, can take over the captain's armband.
