Tottenham defender Cristian Romero reportedly won't be at their game against Everton on Sunday, despite it being their biggest game of the season.
Spurs go into the weekend two points above West Ham United in the relegation battle. If they lose to the Toffees and the Hammers secure three points, they'll be relegated to the Championship.
A point should be enough for Tottenham to secure their Premier League status due to having a superior goal difference to West Ham.
Despite Spurs being in the driving seat, Romero deciding not to attend the game is a huge move from the Argentine defender.
Whether this has been green-lit by Roberto De Zerbi remains to be seen, but the Italian manager is surely going to be disappointed in his decision.
