Disrespect? Tottenham captain Romero to miss Everton clash for a bizarre reason

An extremely odd decision from the team captain ahead of a crucial match in the season.

Details: According to The Touchline, citing Tim Vickery, Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero will not help his team in a key English Premier League match against Everton, as he will be in Argentina to attend the River Plate vs Belgrano match.

Reports state that River Plate and Belgrano will face off in the final of the Argentine league, and Romero has no intention of missing this event, even though his own team desperately needs him.

Interestingly, if Tottenham lose this match and West Ham win their game against Leeds, Tottenham will be relegated from the Premier League.

This season, Romero has played 32 matches for the Spurs, scoring 6 goals and providing 4 assists.
