"Romero made headlines on Monday when, within an hour of the transfer window closing, he revealed on Instagram he played with an illness in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Manchester City and call it "disgraceful" the squad were left with only 11 fit players. It was a view which resonated with many Tottenham fans given the north London club's lack of transfer activity since the signing of Conor Gallagher on January 14, especially as Spurs have lost nine players to injuries since the start of 2026."
"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."
Cristian Romero posted on Instagram after the transfer window closed that he had played while ill in Tottenham's 2-2 draw with Manchester City and called it "disgraceful" that only 11 fit players were available. The comment echoed fan frustration over minimal January arrivals after Conor Gallagher's signing and amid nine player injuries since early 2026. Manager Thomas Frank described Romero as a passionate, ambitious player and said any outburst had been addressed internally. Frank declined to confirm whether Romero was fined or disciplined and said he personally would not have posted such a message publicly.
