Tottenham ’s Cristian Romero credited Argentina ’s physios with his return to fitness after the defender made his comeback in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Bournemouth. Romero’s first appearance since suffering a thigh injury in the 4-3 defeat to Chelsea on December 8 ended all square, as Spurs recovered from 2-0 down against the high-flying Cherries.

Cristian Romero has made a quite remarkable statement about his recovery from injury having made his return to the Tottenham Hotspur starting lineup on Sunday. Romero made his first appearance since December in the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Heung-min Son’s late penalty rescued a point for Tottenham, who came from behind to draw 2-2 with Bournemouth in north London. Goals from Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson either side of half-time put the visitors in command but Pape Matar Sarr pulled one back with a fortuitous strike.
