Tottenham have received heavy criticism for an announcement that they have made prior to their clash with Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon.
The Lilywhites are aiming to continue their bright start to the new Premier League campaign against a Villa side who have been resurgent of late after a dire start.
Mathys Tel scored his first goal of the season for Tottenham in the victory over Leeds United prior to the international break, and has kept his place as a result.
However, while things have been looking up for Thomas Frank and Co. of late, they have been blasted for their latest announcement.
Tottenham fans slam ‘abysmal’ Cristian Romero injury
Cristian Romero has been excellent for Tottenham so far this season, but he was ruled out of the clash with Villa at the latest possible moment on Sunday.
MORE SPURS STORIES
The Argentine had been named in the starting XI for the enouncter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but was forced out of the matchday squad after limping out of the warmup with an injury.
Kevin Danso has been called upon to step into what is a diffciult situation for him, as Frank had to think on his feet to replace the club captain.
The announcement regarding Romero’s issue has prompted plenty of frustration from the Spurs fans on X, with one supporter even taking aim at the club’s coaching staff, branding them as “abysmal.”
Another supporter sarcastically added that the news was “hilarious.”
Spurs need Cristian Romero injury to be minor problem
Romero’s influence at Tottenham has grown with every passing season, and he is now one of the first names on the team sheet as the captain.
The centre-back has an imperious partnership with Micky van de Ven, which is arguably one of the best in the Premier League, and any success that Spurs have this season is likely to be built upon their solidity.
With that in mind, they will desperately be hoping that the Argentine’s injury is nothing too serious, and that the decision to withdraw him from the starting XI was little more than a precaution.
Frank will undoubtedly provide an update on the defender after the game, but for now there is little to go off in terms of the severity of the issue.
