It is controversial that the Argentine national team has selected Christian Romero, Tottenham's vice-captain, who has not even returned. England's 'BBC' reported on the 3rd (Korea time) that Argentina included Romero in the A-team list ahead of the North-China World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil.
Argentina will play Uruguay in the away game on the 20th and Brazil in the 13th and 14th games of the 2026 North-China World Cup South American qualifiers on the 26th. Argentina, which currently ranks first with 25 points (8 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses), is relatively relaxed.
Romero has been reduced to a `glass body' this season. He played only 14 games, including 12 in the English Premier League (EPL), one in the Europa League and one in the Carabao Cup. He played only 1,118 minutes.
Romero groaned due to a toe injury during the A-match in November last year. He returned briefly against Chelsea on December 9 last year, but disappeared after being replaced 15 minutes into the first half. It was a thigh injury.
Tottenham handled Romero with care as if they were serving him. Coach Enze Postecoglou is recovering slowly" replaced the explanation with words. Romero is now close to returning. Tottenham released a video of Romero's return to training on the 25th of last month.

Ahead of the Manchester City match (0-1 loss) on the 26th of last month, Postecoglou said, `Hopefully, the return will be a reality within 7-10 days. It is not easy to play in the first leg of the Europa League, but by then, we will be in normal training together. There is a higher probability of returning to the game against Bournemouth. What is certain is that he will be able to play in the second leg of the Europa League."
Tottenham is just sad about Argentina's decision to transfer to Romero. There are also high voices of concern among fans. Romero is not 100% committed to Tottenham, but there are also criticisms that he puts everything into the Argentine national team. Romero has played 10 A matches in Argentina since June last year, similar to Tottenham's 14.
Romero has strongly opposed this assessment. He said "It's clear that people who say these things don't know me. I have a multi-year contract with the club, and I always try to do my best"If I don't feel a passion for Argentina for Tottenham, I'll want to leave the club."

Tottenham met Alkmaar, their opponent in the round of 16, in the third round of the Europa League phase on October 25 last year. Son Heung-min was absent due to a hamstring (back muscle of the thigh) injury at the time, but Tottenham won 1-0 with Hishalisson's penalty goal.
If Tottenham advances to the quarterfinals, it will face the winners of Ajax (the Netherlands) and Frankfurt (Germany). Tottenham last won the European competition 41 years ago in the 1983-1984 season.
Romero could be injured again after overdoing it due to a long trip during the A-match period. Also, if you encounter an injury reef, you can fly the whole season.
However, for Romero, Tottenham's current situation is that he can't even speak up.
