"Cristian Romero's red card for Tottenham in today's game against Manchester United is a big blow as Spurs now play on with ten men, while they'll also miss the defender for the next four games. Romero was shown a straight red for a nasty challenge on Man Utd midfielder Casemiro, and it now means he's set to miss some important fixtures for Tottenham, including the North London Derby vs Arsenal."
"Spurs fans will no doubt be disappointed to miss an important player like Romero for so long, but there'll also likely be a lot of anger there too. Today's incident follows the Argentine aiming a serious dig at his club on social media as he slammed the state of their squad and what he feels is an unacceptable lack of depth."
Cristian Romero was shown a straight red for a challenge on Manchester United midfielder Casemiro, leaving Tottenham to finish the game with ten men. Romero will miss four matches: Newcastle, Arsenal (the North London Derby), Fulham and Crystal Palace. The suspension further reduces Tottenham's defensive options and exacerbates concerns about squad depth after Romero publicly criticised the club. Fans can expect disappointment and anger over the dismissal. The absence could give Arsenal an easier route in the title race, as the North London Derby would have been one of their tougher tests in the run-in.
