AliousCristian Romero has shared a fresh assessment of Tottenham’s relegation battle while away on international duty with Argentina national football team. With Spurs hovering dangerously close to the drop zone, the club captain admitted his frustration but insisted he remains focused on helping the team recover.
Speaking after Argentina’s 5-0 victory over Zambia national football team, in comments reported by Diario Olé, Romero acknowledged his struggles but stressed his determination to improve and contribute fully as Tottenham aim to escape their difficult position.
The 27-year-old is due back in north London ahead of the weekend, where he will link up with new head coach Roberto De Zerbi, who was appointed earlier this week on a five-year deal. The Italian faces an immediate challenge, with his opening run of matches likely to be crucial in deciding whether Spurs can avoid relegation from the Premier League.
Upon his arrival, De Zerbi expressed excitement about joining one of football’s most prestigious clubs and made clear his commitment to building an ambitious, entertaining team. However, he emphasised that the immediate priority is to improve results and climb the league table before the season concludes.
With Tottenham already eliminated from both the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League, their full attention now turns to domestic survival. Their next fixture comes on April 12 against Sunderland AFC, giving De Zerbi valuable time on the training ground to work with his squad.
There is some optimism on the injury front, as players like Mohammed Kudus, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Ben Davies could return for the trip. Meanwhile, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are also working their way back from serious knee injuries, and their potential return before the end of the campaign could provide a significant boost in Tottenham’s fight to stay up.
