Tottenham Hotspur fans have voiced their frustration after Cristian Romero appeared to criticise the club’s medical staff, raising fresh concerns over Spurs’ handling of injuries.
During the course of this season, Tottenham Hotspur have had their fair share of injury woes. At one point, 12 players were sidelined, including Cristian Romero and his centre-back partner, Micky van de Ven.
Romero, who was out for 86 days with a quadriceps injury, has since returned to action, featuring in Spurs’ last four matches.
However, in recent interviews and social media posts, Romero has expressed gratitude to his national team’s medical staff—comments that many believe are subtle digs at Tottenham’s own medical department.
Tottenham fans react to worrying Cristian Romero story
Just days ago, we reported that Romero was unhappy with the way Tottenham’s medical team handled his injury.
Now, Spurs fans have made their feelings clear, taking to social media to share their frustrations—and the general sentiment seems to be unanimous.
One fan fumed: “Everything in the club is collapsing, just insane.” Another questioned the club’s injury record, saying: “Not surprising. Why are the injuries taking almost a year to resolve?”

Another supporter didn’t hold back, stating: “And we, as fans, should be upset by this news. We’re supposed to be one of the top professional clubs, but it’s becoming apparent that our medical department is a shambles.”
One fan even speculated that Romero could refuse a contract extension, writing: “Not a chance he signs a new contract. As for the Tottenham medical team, it’s an absolute joke. This has been going on for far too long now.”
A further comment read: “All Spurs medical staff should’ve been fired long ago—too many injuries, and players are sidelined for ridiculous amounts of time.”
Spurs medical team still seems to be a problem
It is clear Tottenham fans are growing increasingly frustrated with the club’s medical team. Many believe they’re at the heart of the injury crisis that has disrupted the Lilywhites’ season.
However, it’s worth noting that Spurs have already made changes to their medical staff behind the scenes, with the current medical team not the same as the one they started the season with. Despite this, concerns remain.
With Tottenham reportedly looking to rebuild both their medical and training facilities, perhaps this is another area the club should be reviewing.
As for the Argentine, if anything, this season has proven that he is always ready to voice out his opinions.
