Argentina have received a boost ahead of Friday’s World Cup round-of-32 encounter against Cape Verde in Miami with Cristian Romero available, sources have told ESPN.
The Tottenham centre-back completed Wednesday’s training session in Kansas City alongside his teammates and is expected to feature against Cape Verde.
Romero, 28, had missed his team’s 3-1 win over Jordan on Saturday after picking up a knock on his knee in their 2-0 win over Austria on June 22.
Romero and the Argentina delegation, led by Lionel Messi, arrived on Wednesday evening in Fort Lauderlade, Miami.
