Ange Postecoglou has confirmed Cristian Romero will not feature against Rangers on Thursday night following the quadricep injury sustained against Chelsea.
Having not played for us since Ipswich Town on 10 November with a toe issue, Cuti started Sunday's London derby but unfortunately was forced off on 15 minutes with us leading 2-0 in our eventual 4-3 defeat last time out.
Partnered alongside the returning Micky van de Ven that afternoon, we later lost the Dutch international in the 79th minute due to a hamstring problem and both centre-backs have since been ruled out of our Europa League meeting with Rangers (kick-off 8pm UK) with an indefinite return date.
Speaking in his press conference ahead of tomorrow evening’s European tie, Ange said: "With the weekend's fallout, Romero and Van de Ven - we're still getting clarity around their prognosis - but both have picked up injuries that will keep them out again."
