Thomas Frank insists he won’t take risks over Cristian Romero’s fitness as the Tottenham captain prepares to return against Chelsea on Saturday.
Romero has not featured for Tottenham since the start of October due to an adductor issue, but Frank is set to involve the Argentine for Chelsea’s visit to north London.
The centre-back also returned for the corresponding fixture last December, only to suffer another injury and miss three months as a result.
Frank is confident Romero is fully ready to feature, but will take the blame if there is another injury issue for the 27-yearold.
“The positive news is that Romero, Destiny (Udogie) and Wilson (Odobert) are available for selection for Saturday,” Frank told reporters on Friday.
“I am very aware of trying to be able to take the best possible decisions. Of course in the end I will get a lot of information from medical staff, performance staff, but in the end it is always on me.
“If a player breaks down, it is on me. It is not on the medical staff, not on the performance staff, always me.
