Thomas Frank has now provided some clarity on Cristian Romero’s suspension situation following the FA’s charges after he was sent off in Tottenham vs Liverpool.
Tottenham Hotspur are set to have the services of Xavi Simons on Wednesday night when they take on Bournemouth in the Premier League, following the Dutchman’s completion of his three-game suspension.
That will come as a major boost to Spurs, who have struggled for creativity in their last three outings, which have seen them score a combined two goals.
However, there have been question marks over Cristian Romero, who runs the risk of being handed a suspension following his booking against Liverpool when he was sent off.
Thomas Frank on Cristian Romero suspension situation
The centre-back’s reaction after being sent off means he could miss further matches depending on the verdict of the Football Association, who charged him for failing to promptly leave the field and for confronting the official after he was shown a second yellow card.
That decision has left Spurs waiting for clarity, with the potential absence of Romero adding to the uncertainty at the back.
Frank has now provided an update on the situation with football.london revealing that Thomas Frank confirmed Spurs have appealed against it, and that Cristian Romero will be available to face Bournemouth.
Tottenham hoping to keep Cristian Romero available
Frank will be desperate to have his captain available to him for most of the season, as he looks to turn inconsistent Tottenham form around.
The Dane has Spurs sitting in 13th place in the Premier League table, which is far from ideal for a side expected to compete with the top teams in the division.
Having his best players available is now more crucial than ever, as games continue to come thick and fast across all competitions.
