Romero’s Controversial Comments
Recently, Romero stirred discussions with an Instagram post, describing the situation at Spurs as “disgraceful.” This followed an incident during the club’s recent 2-2 draw against Manchester City, where he was forced off due to illness. Currently, the club finds itself with only 11 available players.
This is not the first time Romero has made strong statements. Earlier in January, he voiced concerns regarding communication with key club figures. Despite these comments, Frank confirmed that Romero remains Tottenham’s captain and did not disclose whether any disciplinary actions were taken post-outburst.

Frank highlighted the defender’s current role and the importance of his leadership amidst the club’s injury challenges.
