Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero has sent a cheeky yet brutal message to two of his Argentina team-mates.
The centre-back has joined up with his national team for the current international break. He is expected to be involved in the two Friendly matches against Venezuela (Saturday, 1am kick-off) and Puerto Rico (Tuesday, 12am kick-off).
Romero goes into the games having played every minute in the Premier League for Tottenham so far this season, including last weekend’s 2-1 win over Leeds United.
Joining up with Argentina has seen him reunited with some familiar faces from Premier League rivals.
The defender shared a picture of himself alongside Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez and Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez from the Argentina camp. And alongside the picture, he added a caption that translates to: “Y’all don’t contribute anything.”
He also added two laughing emojis with the comment no doubt tongue-in-cheek, despite being a little savage.
Like Romero, Fernandez has started every league game for his club so far this season. The midfielder played the full 90 minutes of Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Liverpool last time out.
Striker Alvarez has played in every league game for Atletico Madrid. In his nine appearances in all competitions, he has scored seven goals and provided three assists.
Of the three, Alvarez was the only one to feature in both Argentina games in the last international break last month. Fernandez missed the first game through suspension and was not included in the squad for the second match.
Romero, meanwhile, played the full 90 minutes of the first game, but was not part of the squad for the second.
All three will hope to contribute to the team in the two upcoming games as the team prepares to defend their World Cup.
The priority for their clubs will be them coming back fit and healthy for the upcoming games. Romero missed last week’s Champions League draw against Bodo/Glimt with an injury before making his return against Leeds.
Spurs are next in action when they host Aston Villa on Sunday, 19 October (2pm kick-off). Chelsea, meanwhile, travel to take on Ange Postecoglou’s Nottingham Forest on Saturday, 18 October (12.30pm kick-off).
