Overview
- Cristian Romero posted on Instagram that it was “disgraceful” Spurs had only 11 players available for the 2-2 draw with Manchester City, after he was substituted at halftime due to illness.
- Tottenham concluded January with two first-team additions — Conor Gallagher and 19-year-old left-back Souza — as several late pursuits, including Antoine Semenyo and Andy Robertson, did not materialize.
- The club’s absences are reported in the low double digits, with long-term injuries to James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus, Rodrigo Bentancur, Richarlison and others cited across reports.
- Results remain poor with two wins in the last 15 league matches and 14th place in the table, with Manchester United up next at Old Trafford.
- Romero’s latest public criticism follows an earlier post that prompted internal talks with Thomas Frank and Johan Lange without a fine, and his new message drew likes from teammates including Pedro Porro and Dominic Solanke.
