Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero has been at the centre of a storm after flying to Argentina before the team's final game of the season. The 27-year-old defender, who has been a regular starter for the North London club this season, will miss the crucial relegation decider against Bournemouth.
The move has sparked widespread criticism from Spurs fans and pundits, who feel that Romero's decision to leave the country before the game shows a lack of commitment to the team. Romero scored five goals in 38 appearances for Tottenham this season and has been a key player in their bid to avoid relegation.
Tottenham currently sit 18th in the Premier League table, just above the relegation zone, and will need a win against Bournemouth to secure their safety. The team's manager, Antonio Conte, has not commented on Romero's decision to leave the country, but it is understood that the club is disappointed with the player's actions.
Romero's decision to fly to Argentina has also raised questions about the club's transfer policy and the way they handle player morale. The club has been linked with a number of high-profile signings in recent weeks, but it is unclear whether Romero's actions will affect their chances of bringing in new players.
The Premier League relegation battle has been a closely contested affair this season, with several teams fighting for survival. Tottenham's fate will be decided in the final game of the season, and it remains to be seen whether they will be able to secure their safety.
Spurs fans will be watching the game anxiously, hoping that their team can secure a win and avoid relegation. However, the team's chances of success have been dealt a significant blow by Romero's decision to fly to Argentina.
