Tottenham defender Cristian Romero doesn't expect Roma striker Paulo Dybala to make Argentina's World Cup campaign.

Dybala broke down last week with a thigh injury, with Roma concerned he won't play again before the break up for the World Cup.

Argentina teammate Romero said: "I'm sad for them, but more so for Paulo, who I think won't make it... I haven't talked to him, but I'm sure it must be very bad.

“It's tough. Everyone knows that he is a very important football player. He does very well for the group internally, he is a very positive person, he gives quality to Argentina's game, beyond the fact that he is not a starter.

"But every time he has played he has made a difference."
