FA Formally Charges Tottenham's Cristian Romero Over Red-Card Conduct

Romero must submit his defense by January 2, with the FA considering whether to extend his suspension.

Overview

  • He will miss Sunday's match against Crystal Palace under the automatic one-game suspension for the red card.
  • The FA alleges he failed to leave the field promptly and behaved confrontationally or aggressively toward the referee after his 90+3 dismissal.
  • If the charge is upheld, his absence could extend to Brentford on January 1, Sunderland on January 4 and Bournemouth on January 7.
  • The incident capped a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool in which Tottenham finished with nine men after Xavi Simons was sent off in the 33rd minute.
  • Manager Thomas Frank disputed the sending off and was seen ushering the defender toward the tunnel as he protested.
