The Argentine defender has been punished for his conduct after being sent off against Liverpool
Tottenham captain Cristian Romero has been handed an additional one-match suspension and fined £50,000 for his conduct during his side’s defeat by Liverpool last month.
The Football Association confirmed further punishment following a regulatory hearing into the Argentine defender’s actions after his late dismissal in the match.
Romero admitted to an FA charge of “acting improperly by failing to leave the field of play promptly” after he was sent off in the 93rd minute of Tottenham’s 2-1 loss on 20 December.
He received a second yellow card for kicking out at Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate after being fouled, having earlier been booked in the 66th minute for dissent.
The centre-back was also alleged to have behaved in a “confrontational and/or aggressive manner towards the referee” following the incident.
After considering the case, an independent regulatory commission imposed an additional one-match ban along with a £50,000 fine.
Romero has already served the automatic one-game suspension that resulted from his red card, missing Spurs’ 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace on 28 December.
Earlier in the season, he was also suspended for Tottenham’s 2-1 defeat by Fulham on 29 November after accumulating five yellow cards.
An FA spokesperson said the written reasons for the latest sanctions will be published in due course.
