Works hard in win Romero made nine clearances and logged two interceptions during Sunday's World Cup final win over France after penalties.

Impact Romero and Nicolas Otamendi formed one of the strongest defensive partnerships of the World Cup, making for a physical back line that seldom let up many clear chances. While fitness has been a problem at club level recently, Romero figures to be a top option for club and country in the coming seasons.

Five clearances for clean sheet Romero registered one tackle (one won) and five clearances in Tuesday's 3-0 victory versus Croatia. In addition, he made two blocks and was given a yellow card in the 68th minute.

Impact Romero helped key an outstanding defensive effort for his Argentinian side and paced his squad in clearances. The clean sheet was his second of this World Cup, and he'll hope to garner one more result during the finals this upcoming Sunday.

Impact Romero has done well to start three times in four World Cup matches after returning from a long-term calf injury.

Keeps clean sheet in win Romero made three clearances in Wednesday's 2-0 victory against Poland.

Impact Romero was disappointing in last week's World Cup opening defeat against Saudi Arabia in what had been his first appearance since suffering a calf injury in October. He was brought on as a substitute in the second game and seemed much fitter and more comfortable in returning to the XI against Poland. Expect him and Nicolas Otamendi to remain the preferred central defensive pairing for the knockout rounds.

Impact Romero is continuing to make his way back from a muscular issue, and while all signs have been positive for his recovery it's unclear if he will be back for the tournament opener. If Romero isn't fit for Tuesday's clash with Saudi Arabia then Argentina would likely turn to Lisandro Martinez alongside Nicolas Otamendi in central defense.

Not expected to play until Qatar Romero has been ruled out for 10 days with a calf injury which makes him unavailable until the World Cup, according to Gaston Edul of TyC Sports.

It's a positive sign that his strain is only minor, though forcing the point ahead of a demanding tournament could result in further issues. While he's out, Eric Dier, Clement Lenglet and Davinson Sanchez are options to feature at center-back.

Impact Romero reclaims his spot in the starting XI after having been sidelined for the clash with Newcastle United on Sunday. Given his limited offensive upside, Romero has just two shots (one on target) in his last nine outings, the central defender shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value.
