The Argentine limped off after less than 20 minutes with a new injury, which has added to Postecoglou’s woes.
Per Argentine journalist Gaston Edul, Romero has a new muscle injury that will keep him out for six weeks.
He misses league games against Liverpool and Newcastle, along with the Carabao Cup quarter-final with Manchester United.
Spurs are in danger of seeing their season implode, as they sit in mid-table and adrift of the top four teams.
