"Tottenham Hotspur face another extended spell without Cristian Romero following the captain's red card in the 2-0 defeat by Manchester United on Saturday. The centre back was sent off for a high challenge on Casemiro with the score 0-0 at Old Trafford and will miss the next four games, after his three-match ban for serious foul play was upgraded by one because it was his second red card of the Premier League season."
"Romero's disciplinary record is not pretty, with the Argentina defender racking up nine bookings and two red cards across all competitions for his club this season, and six dismissals in total since joining Spurs in 2021. Manager Thomas Frank has defended the 27-year-old, but admitted ahead of the clash with Newcastle: "When you have a player playing with so much passion and aggression, sometimes, things like that can happen. That's not to say he should not learn from it.""

The absence rules Romero out of upcoming fixtures against Newcastle, Arsenal, Fulham and Crystal Palace. Romero has nine bookings and two red cards across all competitions this season and six dismissals since joining Spurs in 2021. Manager Thomas Frank defended Romero's passion and aggression while noting the player must learn from the incident. Tottenham sit 15th and are winless in seven league matches.
