Overview
- Romero was substituted at halftime against Manchester City with a physical complaint, and manager Thomas Frank said the issue appears minor after similar discomfort in midweek.
- In an Instagram post, the Tottenham captain praised teammates but called it “incredible but true and shameful” that only 11 first‑team players were available.
- Tottenham sit 14th in the Premier League with two wins in their last 15 league matches, having sold Brennan Johnson and added only Conor Gallagher and 19‑year‑old Souza in January.
- Frank defended the club’s winter business, urged grievances be handled internally, and noted they pursued targets such as Antoine Semenyo, who ultimately joined Manchester City.
- Multiple outlets report Romero is likely to seek a move in the next window, with interest cited from Atlético Madrid, reported links to Real Madrid, and Saudi approaches, though he is under contract to 2029 and Spurs are seen as tough negotiators.
