Cristian Romero has delivered an updated verdict on Tottenham’s relegation struggle while on international duty with the Argentina national team. With Spurs sitting perilously close to the relegation zone, the club captain admitted his disappointment with recent performances but emphasized his determination to help steer the team back on track.
Speaking after Argentina’s emphatic 5–0 win over Zambia, as reported by Diario Olé, Romero acknowledged that he has not been at his best but reaffirmed his commitment to improving and playing a key role as Tottenham battle to climb out of trouble.
The 27-year-old is expected to return to north London ahead of the weekend, where he will reunite with newly appointed head coach Roberto De Zerbi, who signed a five-year contract earlier this week. The Italian manager faces an immediate test, with his first set of fixtures likely to play a decisive role in determining whether Spurs can secure their Premier League survival.
Upon taking charge, De Zerbi expressed enthusiasm about leading one of football’s historic clubs and outlined his vision of building an ambitious, attacking side. Nevertheless, he made it clear that the short-term objective is to stabilize results and move the team up the table before the season ends.
Having already been knocked out of both the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League, Tottenham’s focus is now entirely on preserving their top-flight status. Their next match is scheduled for April 12 against Sunderland, providing De Zerbi with valuable time on the training ground to prepare his squad.
There are encouraging signs regarding injuries, with players such as Mohammed Kudus, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Ben Davies potentially returning in time for the trip. Meanwhile, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski continue their rehabilitation from significant knee injuries, and their possible comeback before the campaign concludes could offer a major lift in Tottenham’s bid to avoid relegation.
