"Romero, who will not be available until 15 March so will miss the games against Newcastle, Arsenal, Fulham and Crystal Palace, was issued a straight red card against United by Michael Oliver on 29 minutes after the referee judged his stamp on Casemiro's left ankle a dangerous challenge. His total of six red cards in all competitions since Romero's debut for Spurs in August 2021 is the most of any Premier League player."
"No, I think it is fair to say he doesn't have any intention to get a red card after 28 minutes, said the head coach. It was put to Frank that Romero not knowing what he was about to do was perhaps more concerning. That's your perception, he said. No there is not any regret in making him captain and also he is sorry for the incident. He apologised to his teammates in the dressing room. He is one of the most important players."
Cristian Romero received a straight red card for stamping on Casemiro's ankle and faces a four-game ban, ruling him out until 15 March and missing matches against Newcastle, Arsenal, Fulham and Crystal Palace. The red was his second in 10 matches this campaign and brought his total to six red cards since debuting for Spurs in August 2021, the most in the Premier League. Romero also made critical off-field comments about the squad and ownership, calling the squad 'disgraceful' and suggesting owners 'only show up when things are going well, to tell a few lies.' Head coach Thomas Frank said he will not remove Romero's captaincy, noted Romero apologised to teammates, and defended his importance to the team.
