Cristian Romero has downplayed fears over a right knee issue after leaving Argentina’s 2-0 win against Austria early in the second half. The Tottenham defender said he expects to recover within days.

Lionel Scaloni said Romero has been managing the problem and will undergo checks. Argentina may rest him against Jordan, especially with qualification already secured and the knockout stage approaching.
