Cristian Romero could be hit with an extended suspension after he was charged by England’s ruling Football Association with failing to leave the field and acting in an “aggressive” manner when he was sent off against Liverpool last Saturday.
The Tottenham Hotspur captain received a second yellow card for kicking out at Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate before being ordered off the field by referee John Brooks during a 2-1 defeat.
Romero’s red card means he will serve a one-match ban, missing Sunday’s match away to London rivals Crystal Palace.
But he now faces additional punishment, and a longer ban if found guilty. He has until January 2 to respond to Wednesday’s charge.
