- Cristian Romero will be in Argentina for the Spurs‑Everton match, missing the season finale due to a knee injury and to complete rehab with his boyhood club Belgrano.
- Roberto de Zerbi said the decision to let Romero travel to Argentina was made with the club’s medical staff and he fully understands why fans are upset.
- Glenn Hoddle called Romero’s decision “scandalous” and said he would drive him to the airport and tell him not to return.
- Teddy Sheringham expressed disbelief that Romero was allowed to go, urging his presence for the “biggest game” in club history.
- Spurs need a win against Everton to guarantee safety, though a draw should suffice because of superior goal difference over West Ham United.
Why it matters: Tottenham’s survival hinges on a win, but losing captain Romero could weaken on‑field leadership and fan morale, while the club’s medical staff and coach aim to protect his World Cup prospects.
