Tottenham Hotspur face defensive crisis after double dismissal

Spurs manager Thomas Frank will be without two key defenders for the next match following red cards for Xavi Simons and Cristian Romero in Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat to Liverpool.

The game ended in disciplinary chaos, with Tottenham‘s Simons sent off in the first half and Romero receiving a second yellow in stoppage time.

The double suspension leaves Frank with a major selection headache for the upcoming festive period.

Club sources indicate that the recruitment team may look to accelerate their pursuit of a new center-back in the January window to provide more depth, as the squad continues to struggle with discipline and injuries.
