Alasdair Gold has provided an update on Tottenham captain Cristian Romero ahead of the club’s relegation showdown against Everton this evening.It was initially reported that Romero was not expected to be at Spurs’ clash against Everton as the centre-back had travelled to Argentina to watch his boyhood club Belgrano take on River Plate in the League Cup final.That caused a massive uproar, with several former Tottenham players blasting the club captain for not being there to support his teammates in what is arguably the biggest game in the club’s history.Some Spurs fans have made it clear they do not want to see Romero in a Tottenham shirt again, with many seeing his decision as a sign that he does not care about the club.Credit: Tottenham HotspurCristian Romero is back in London ahead of Tottenham v EvertonReacting to the controversy a couple of days ago, Romero’s agent insisted that his client had to return to Argentina as part of his rehabilitation plan, claiming that it had nothing to do with attending a football match.The World Cup winner appears to have changed his mind after the backlash over the last few days.It has now been confirmed by Alasdair Gold that the 28-year-old is back in London ahead of the big clash this evening.Cristian Romero is indeed back in London ahead of Tottenham's final match against Everton. Huge day ahead.— Alasdair Gold (@AlasdairGold) May 24, 2026 Some Spurs will not forgive Romero for his latest actionsIt is clear that the centre-back has only returned due to the widespread criticism he has attracted over the past few days.We know this because De Zerbi did not mention that Romero will be back for today’s game, and neither did the centre-back’s agent.Jamie O’Hara has termed Romero’s actions a sackable offence, and it would be very surprising if the former Juventus man is still at Spurs at the start of next season.READ MORE: Thomas Tuchel gives three reasons why he picked Tottenham’s Djed Spence for England World CupThe post Plot twist emerges in Cristian Romero controversy just hours before Tottenham vs Everton appeared first on Spurs Web.
