Argentina defender Cristian Romero revealed he discussed a knee issue with team doctors following the victory against Austria in a recent match. Romero was substituted in the second half due to discomfort in the same knee that previously caused him problems before the World Cup. He did not elaborate on the nature or severity of the current concern. The incident raises questions about his fitness ahead of upcoming games. Romero’s prior knee issues had cast doubt on his availability for the tournament, but he ultimately participated. The team medical staff will assess the situation to determine the appropriate course of action and Romero’s continued participation.
