Tottenham's Cristian Romero was sent off during the match against Manchester United at Old Trafford, just days after a social media outburst criticizing the team's squad depth. The red card, a result of a challenge on Casemiro, leaves Spurs at a disadvantage. This incident adds to a turbulent week for the Spurs' captain and creates issues for manager Thomas Frank.

Romero's dismissal is his second red card of the season, resulting in a four-match suspension, including the highly anticipated north London derby against Arsenal. This follows a previous incident where Romero accused the club's hierarchy of "lies" on social media. The team's performance will be impacted as they navigate a challenging fixture list without their captain.

This latest incident raises questions about Romero's leadership and disciplinary issues. His actions have drawn criticism, with former Spurs captain Michael Dawson calling it a disaster for Frank. Losing a key player and the captain for such a long period will undoubtedly test the team's resilience and their chances for the season.

Tottenham's manager now faces a difficult situation. He must find a way to navigate a crucial stretch of games without a key player and address the distraction caused by Romero's off-field behavior. The upcoming matches will be a test of the team's ability to cope with adversity and maintain their position in the league standings.
