Overview
- The FA alleges Romero failed to promptly leave the field and behaved confrontationally toward referee John Brooks following his 93rd‑minute dismissal.
- Romero must respond to the charge by January 2, 2026, under the governing body’s disciplinary process.
- He is already suspended for one match and will miss Tottenham’s trip to Crystal Palace on Sunday.
- The defender was sent off for two bookings, first for dissent over a perceived foul by Hugo Ekitike and then for kicking out at Ibrahima Konaté.
- A guilty finding could bring further sanctions, and Tottenham avoided an automatic club fine as the team did not meet the six-card threshold while Thomas Frank criticized the officiating.
