The return of two pillars of Tottenham's defense, 'Vice-Captain'Christian Romero, Mickey van der Penn and striker Dominic Solanke, is on the countdown. Tottenham will play Manchester City in the 27th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 4:30 a.m. on the 27th (Korea time).
Tottenham released a video of Romero's return to training on the 25th. Coach Enze Postecoglou revealed the timing of his return at a press conference against Manchester City.
He said "Those who are well in the process of returning are expected to return around the same time. "Hopefully, I hope my return will come true in 7-10 days. It's not easy to play in the first round of the Europa League, but by then, we will be in normal training together. The chances of returning to the game against Bournemouth next weekend are higher. What is certain is that they will all be able to play in the second leg of the Europa League."
After the match against Manchester City, Tottenham will play AZ Alkmaar (the Netherlands) in the first round of the Europa League round of 16 on the 7th of next month. He will then play 28 rounds of the EPL against Bournemouth on the 9th and play the second round of the round of 16 against Alkmaar on the 14th.

Argentina's representative Romero groaned due to a toe injury during the A-match in November last year. He returned briefly against Chelsea on December 9 last year, but disappeared after being replaced 15 minutes into the first half.
Van der Penn is also going and standing with an injury to his hamstring (back muscle of the thigh) that is close to chronic. He returned briefly from the Europa League against Elpsborg (Sweden) on the 31st of last month, but went into rehabilitation treatment. Solanke last played against Arsenal on the 16th of last month. He was out of power with a knee injury.
Tottenham's only hope is the Europa League, which dreams of winning the trophy for the first time in 17 years since the 2007-2008 season. The Carabao Cup was frustrated on the threshold to the final, and the FA Cup failed to advance to the round of 16. In the case of EPL, it has recently won three consecutive games, but it is only 13th (33 points). The biggest pending issue is the leap to the top.

If Tottenham advances to the quarterfinals, it will face Ajax (the Netherlands) and Frankfurt (Germany). Tottenham last won the European competition 41 years ago in the 1983-1984 season.
Coach Postecoglou has always lifted the trophy in his second year in each team he is in charge of. He has not let go of the string.
Meanwhile, Timo Werner can start against Manchester City.
