The defender pushed himself to play against Frankfurt and the first 45 minutes against City through illness, given their ongoing injury crisis.

Cristian Romero wants Tottenham to show more ambition
Alasdair Gold believes that Cristian Romero genuinely wants to see Tottenham Hotspur improve, and his latest social media post was not him angling for a move.
Following the close of the January window, Romero dropped a statement on his social media and seemed very unhappy with the club’s inactivity.
On Tuesday, reports from Argentina suggested that Romero will be leaving the North London club next summer; however, Gold is convinced that this is not quite the case.

“We know there’ll be more movements, we know there’ll be more opportunities. So the plans are already drawn up. We have a clear picture of which positions and also which profiles.”
