Tottenham vice-captain Christian Romero shot the club directly, which is controversial.
Romero led Argentina to a 1-0 victory on the 22nd (Korea time) by starting in the 13th match of the 2026 North-China World Cup South America qualifying round against Uruguay at Centenario Estadio in Montevideo, Uruguay. Thanks to this, Argentina continued to race first in the South American qualifying round.
In fact, Tottenham fans have complained about Romero joining the Argentine national team during the A-match. Romero was frequently sidelined by injury after moving to Tottenham. Only if such a player comes close to the A match, he participated in all the A matches that he could return from injury and participate in.
It was a repetition of the repertoire that if you overdo your A-match schedule to South America, you will return and get injured again shortly afterwards. It was the same this time. Romero had only recently returned from injury and flew straight to Argentina.
But after the game, Romero made a bombshell remark. He said it was Argentina's medical staff who saved him from injury, not Tottenham's medical staff. "I haven't had a good few months because of injuries," he told Argentine Tyc Sports. I could have returned much faster, but nothing happened. Everything has become very complicated," he said directly that there was a problem in the recovery of the injury.
Then "I'm always grateful that the national medical team saved me from that bad moment and allowed me to bring him back to the stadium. Football is what I like to do, and what makes me happy. Thank you to the national physio therapist who allowed me to bring me back to the stadium"
National medical staff from each country often cooperate with their team's medical staff to manage key players. However, since the player stays with his team for most of the time, he has no choice but to be more focused on management by his team. Accordingly, it is common for the subject of injury management and rehabilitation to be also taken over by the affiliated team.
Romero's remarks seem to say that the injury, which was not serious, was not healed at all in Tottenham's hands, but improved quickly when Argentine medical staff helped. Romero's remarks are already being interpreted as a statement shooting the club in the UK.
Eduardo Rodriguez, a journalist dedicated to South America in Spain's Ashes, commented on Romero's remarks on his personal SNS, saying, "Romero was very angry with the way Tottenham's medical staff handled his injuries. The problem is approaching."
Romero may have been dissatisfied with the way the team's medical staff did because his body is his property, but there is a different view as to whether there is a reason to raise the problem by speaking publicly. This is because Romero is the vice-captain of the team. It has already been noisy with injury problems all season, and the vice-captain has caused additional problems for the team in the midst of his worst season.
