""If you want to know what he meant, you of course need to ask him. That is the right way to take that question. Cuti [Romero] is a very passionate character and player. He wants to leave everything on the pitch and he is very ambitious and wants to win every time. Sometimes when you are like that, sometimes there can be an outburst, which happened this time. It is something we have dealt with and dealt with internally.""
""There is a lot of ways of doing things. Cuti has been very good for us this season and past seasons. I wouldn't have done it. That's my message. I think the beauty of written text is that you can read a lot into it and nobody really knows what was the purpose of it except Cuti or the guys who have spoken""
Cristian Romero posted on Instagram within an hour of the transfer window closing that he played with an illness in the 2-2 draw against Manchester City and called it 'disgraceful' that the squad were left with only 11 fit players. Many supporters reacted strongly given limited transfer activity since Conor Gallagher's Jan. 14 signing and nine players lost to injury since the start of 2026. Thomas Frank declined to confirm any disciplinary action and said the matter had been dealt with internally. Frank described Romero as passionate, ambitious and prone to occasional outbursts, and said he personally would not have posted the message. Frank also warned that written text can be misread and that only Romero or those who spoke know the original purpose.
