“Great effort from all my teammates, they were incredible. I wanted to be available to help them even though I wasn't feeling well, especially because we only had 11 players available – unbelievable, but true and shameful. We will continue to show up and take responsibility to recover, work hard, and stay together. All that's left is to thank all of you for being present and always supporting us, the fans,” wrote the athlete on his social media.

Romero was substituted early in the second half. The player's criticism came on the last day of the January transfer window. Tottenham took the field with the 11 starters and a bench full of young players.

The lack of experienced players is explained by the injuries plaguing the club. There are nine players out due to injuries, most of whom are key starters for the team this season.
