Cristian Romero Injuries

'It is incredible. We finished the game [with nine men], and we see the two players [Romero and Palhinha go off following a clash of heads], and there is Micky (Van de Ven), who is out with a red card. I don't know [if they will be OK for GW30], we will see.' 'No, they (Romero and Palhinha) are out. I don't know how much - I think they will be back for sure for Forest, maybe even for the UCL, I don't know exactly.' 'Romero? He's there. He can play.'

'Illness. We are assessing him. Hopefully, he's fine.' 'Cuti is also available.'

'He is ready for the game... As far as I know, [the outcome of his FA charge] will be decided in early January.'

'Yeah, he was just done physically. He just came back from that injury. He's fine.'

'He had a minor issue with his adductor. I expect it to be a minor thing. He could be, he couldn't [be available for Wed]. I just don't know. Right now, if I'm honest.' 'It's an adductor strain. We'll assess him this week, and then we'll know more.' 'Cuti was just out running on the grass with the performance guys. So, positive, progressing, but no time frame. I don't expect it to be a longer one.' 'Cuti is on the pitch, no timeframe, but on the pitch.' 'I’m very aware of trying to take the best possible decisions. Of course, I'll get a lot of info from medical staff, performance staff, but in the end, it's always on me. If a player breaks down, it's on me. I take decisions, I get all the info, and then I need to take a difficult, brave or an easy choice. So, he's ready to be involved tomorrow and let's see how much.'

'Romero is fit and available and will start tomorrow. That is promising news. That was contact to the foot, and I think [the] medical [team] did a good job to get that turned around.'

'There will be a couple of absences. Romero has been struggling with his toe for quite a while, so we’ll leave him out. Probably Sonny as well, because his foot has still not healed. They both made a massive effort to get to the UEL final.'

'He felt something in his quad. He trained really well. He wasn't the one I was worried about, to be honest, but, you know, it's just like I said, the way the season's going for us, unfortunately. So, we just have to wait and see.' 'Not great news about Cristian and Micky, unfortunately. They've both had setbacks at the weekend, so we'll wait and see, but they won't be available for the next period of games.' 'We probably won't get clarity until next week. When guys get injured, without getting too technical, you need to let the injuries settle down before you get the real prognosis, and that will probably be sometime next week.' 'Ben (Davies), Micky (van de Ven) and Romero around the same time, they're all slated to return at the back end of January.' 'He's training, but he's not travelled. He's not playing. Probably another week to 10 days for him.' 'Cuti is still a bit of a slow burner. We're mindful his injury was a bit different, and he's still got to tick a few boxes, so, yeah, not [on] the horizon in terms of this weekend. We'll see how he goes after.' 'Romero is a bit of a tricky one. We are not really sure yet. There is still some work he needs to do. It’s just a slower healer, and it is one we are looking at on a week-to-week basis.' 'Cuti, we’re looking at the next two or three weeks. 'We’re just waiting... the healing in his quad is taking longer than we thought. He’s got one more scan to make sure it’s healed properly. Once we get that sign-off, we should be good to go.' 'He's had [a follow-up scan]t and it's going well. He's in a good place. So, like I said, with him and Micky, it's just picking our moment now. We've got a really good period coming up where I think we can manage that where they're back. They've had good weeks of training with us.' 'They are all similar times, hopefully in the next seven to 10 days. A couple of them are already training, but over that period, we’ll start incorporating them back into matchday squads.' 'Our concern is to get him up and running and hopefully get him some game time. If he's fit, he should go [with Argentina] and get more game time rather than not playing for two weeks.'

'Romero won't be right for tomorrow's game. We're hoping he'll be right for next week.' 'Cuti is getting better. He’s a lot closer. We’re hoping he’ll be out there training with the group with a bit of luck by the back end of this week. If not, definitely next week.' 'Romero is closer but probably unlikely. I'm not ruling him out. He's got to get through a few things today, and then there's a session tomorrow.' 'He's due to have his last couple of sessions with the rehab guys today and tomorrow, so we're hoping, in terms of training, potentially [back] by Friday. At the very latest, early next week if everything goes well.' 'Cuti is due to train. We're not doing much today, but we'll see tomorrow.'

'Cuti, in the challenge, he’s a tough cookie, so for him to come off, he’s very sore, but we’ll have to wait and see. Look, it’s part of what every team is going through, and we just have to deal with it.' 'Romero... nothing too serious, hopefully, so still a chance for the weekend.' 'Cristian, we'll see how he goes: training today and tomorrow - we'll make a call on him.'

'He said he felt OK, but my gut was telling me there's no point taking a risk as we had Ben (Davies) who could come on.' 'On Timo and Cristian, at the moment, there's still a chance for them for the weekend.'

'He felt tiredness in his hamstring just before half-time, so we had to take him off.' 'He had a scan the other day and has got a hamstring strain. We are looking at probably four or five weeks for him.'

'He got a head knock, and it was pretty clear. The medical team were monitoring him as he progressed from there, and then he scored with his head. We will always err on the side of caution.' 'In terms of Cristian, he's good to go. He's been in the hands of the medical team, going through all the protocols. It's a clearly defined process we need to go through, and he's ticked all the boxes.'

'They got injured in the Villa game. I think everybody could see that Cuti was struggling in the first 10 to 15 minutes. He's got an injury, and Pierre is the same.' 'Cuti is out.'

'Cuti will be available, I hope, for the next game against Aston Villa.' 'Cristian Romero is back and available. And from what I've seen in the last few days in our training sessions, he has great focus and a great desire to come back and play with us.'

'The only news is that Cuti is not available for the match tomorrow. We are sorry, but it is what it is.'

'Cristian had a little problem during the game against Chelsea. We checked him, and honestly, the player wanted to give his availability, but in this type of situation, it would be stupid to take a risk. For this reason, he's not available.' 'Cuti is recovering very well, and I think for the next game against West Ham, he should be available. The same for Oliver. At the start of next week, he starts again to work with us.' 'Cristian and Skip, today they had a training session with us; for sure, we have to wait now to see if they are completely recovered, but this is a good sign for us and for the players.' 'The news about Cuti Romero... he's in the squad. He had two training sessions with us after the game against West Ham.'

"Cuti is out, he’s not available. We have the same situation as the last game, no less, no more."

"Cristian is almost ready to come back. For sure, after the international break, he can play, and that’s good news for us."

"Joining us tomorrow, and that will be the right moment to see how they are. We have to assess them and then decide."

"It was his second match since he joined us. He has had issues. Even on Thursday he finished the game with some problems."

"He had problems in the previous leg, so we decided not to take him to Wolves. He trained yesterday, trained today and he's an option for tomorrow."

"Totally recovered and he’s been able to train. He’s doing well, but as I said, the players who haven’t had many sessions... we need to be very careful when we decide to put them on the pitch."
