Tottenham
Just a couple of minutes after opening Tottenham's Premier League account for the campaign, Argentine centre-back Romero was taken off with a head injury, but Postecoglou has passed the ex-Juventus man fit for the weekend.
On the other hand, all of Bryan Gil (groin), Rodrigo Bentancur (knee), Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring), Fraser Forster (back) and Alfie Whiteman (ankle) are on the sidelines, while Tanguy Ndombele was nowhere to be seen last week either, but there may have been a tactical element to his absence.
With Romero good to go, the 25-year-old is poised to rejoin Micky van de Ven in the backline, as the likes of Eric Dier and Japhet Tanganga try to force their way back into the matchday squad.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Vicario; Emerson, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bissouma, Skipp, Maddison; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Son
Manchester United
Speaking of defensive injury concerns, Man United lost Romero's compatriot Lisandro Martinez to a minor ankle injury against Wolves, although his centre-back partner Varane played down the severity of his colleague's issue after the match.
The Argentine is expected to be available, but Victor Lindelof is on standby in case Martinez is not given the green light, as is Harry Maguire, who will seemingly be staying at Old Trafford for the 2023-24 campaign after a proposed £30m transfer to West Ham United collapsed.
Rasmus Hojlund (back), Kobbie Mainoo (ankle), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Amad Diallo (knee) and Tom Heaton (calf) make up a quintet of known absentees for Ten Hag, who should consider a recall for ex-Tottenham man Christian Eriksen in the centre of the field.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Fernandes, Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Rashford, Sancho
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Manchester United
