British soccer media 'Football Insider' reported on the 4th (local time) that Tottenham fans are furious that Christian Romero, who has not played since December due to injury, has been called up for the Argentine national team.
According to the outlet, fans believe Romero should stay with the team on the A-match day in March and prepare for a successful return to injury.
Some fans accuse Romero of putting the national team ahead of his team and argue that he should oppose the transfer.
Tottenham vice-captain and key center back Romero has been out for three months since suffering a hamstring injury against Chelsea on December 8 last year.

Romero finally showed up at Enfield last week, raising expectations for his return. Tottenham manager Engie Postecoglou also said that key resources could rebound when they return from injury.
However, before Tottenham's return match, news broke that he had been selected for the national team. Argentine coach Lionel Scaloni selected Romero along with Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) and Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United) on the preliminary list for the two consecutive games in Uruguay and Brazil on the 2nd.
Argentina is running first with 25 points in the South American qualifying round for the World Cup. They will play away matches in Uruguay on the 21st and at home in Brazil on the 25th.

Argentina's living legend Messi called Romero the "best defender in the world" after winning the Copa America championship last year.
Romero played 14 games (one goal) including the Cup before he was injured this season.
