Spurs Daily: Romero to be in Argentina during Spurs-Everton
Millie Sian
BBC Sport journalist
Tottenham boss Roberto de Zerbi has been speaking to the media before Sunday's final Premier League game of the season against Everton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (kick-off 16:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Dominic Solanke and James Maddison will be available for selection, however it is unclear if either player is fit enough to feature in the starting XI.
Djed Spence, who received a call-up to Thomas Tuchel's England squad for the upcoming World Cup, is also available despite breaking his jaw last time out.
On the full-back, De Zerbi added: "He is a great guy. I love him. I spoke to his mum outside the stadium after the last game, and I told her the same. He has a big heart and he is a big player."
When asked if first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario could replace Antonin Kinsky for the final game of the season, he replied in jest: "You want to know too much!"
He confirmed reports that captain Cristian Romero will be in Argentina during the season finale, explaining: "He spoke with our medical staff and has decided to go there to complete his rehab. He is already injured and we have to accept that. I don't think he can change anything, whether he is in the stadium or not. I also don't have time to lose energy thinking about these things."
It is unknown if the centre-back has played his final match for Tottenham, and he understands "100 percent" that fans might be frustrated about the situation.
Ben Davies, who is recovering from a second operation on a broken ankle, will be in attendance though, after communicating his wishes to "stay around the training ground today" and "stay with his team-mates at the hotel tomorrow".
When asked how he will approach the must-win fixture, he replied: "We can't change our style or our mentality. We have to play with order. We need the right behaviour with and without the ball. We have to be focused on the counter-attack. We have to be focused on their qualities."
De Zerbi also pinpointed Everton's "very good wingers and strikers" as an area his side need to be wary about.
On whether he feels this is the biggest game in his managerial career so far: "I've lived the past 50 days just for Tottenham and for my players. I don't feel nervous. If you feel you have given and done everything, you have to stay calm and stay positive. I usually focus on what more I can give to my players, so I'm looking at what more I can give in these last two days."
However, he conceded that "nobody could have imagined" the situation Tottenham find themselves in, having lifted the Europa League trophy last season.
Finally, he said: "We are in this situation now, so we have to fight without excuses."

Thomas Tuchel has named his 26-man squad to represent England at the 2026 World Cup hosted in Canada, Mexico and the United States:
Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford (Everton), Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), James Trafford (Manchester City)
Defenders: Reece James (Chelsea), Tino Livramento (Newcastle), Marc Guehi (Manchester City), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), John Stones (Manchester City), Jarrell Quansah (Bayer Leverkusen - loan), Nico O'Reilly (Manchester City), Dan Burn (Newcastle), Djed Spence (Tottenham)
Midfielders: Declan Rice (Arsenal), Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest), Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Jordan Henderson (Brentford), Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa), Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United), Eberechi Eze (Arsenal)
Forwards: Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Ivan Toney (Al-Ahli), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Noni Madueke (Arsenal), Marcus Rashford (Barcelona - loan), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle)
Tuchel confirmed Alex Scott (Bournemouth), Rio Ngumoha (Liverpool) and Josh King (Fulham) will also be part of the Three Lions' pre-tournament squad in Florida when they face New Zealand and Costa Rica.
The England boss added that one more player will also join his squad in Florida, but did not name the individual.
Tuchel said Bournemouth's Scott had an "outstanding" reaction to not being named in the 26-man squad.
"The commitment, the wish to be in pre-camp and just be a step closer to the team, was not even a question to him. This showed me his character and spirit. He gets a chance to take a step closer and to get a cap," added Tuchel.
Tuchel on his 26-man squad: "An exciting day for me and I think for everyone selected. From day one we were very clear that we were trying to build and select the best possible team, which is not necessarily to select and collect 26 of the most talented players. Teams win championships – it is as simple as that.
"What we're trying to achieve in the summer can only be achieved as a team. That in mind, we chose a very balanced squad. We chose three goalkeepers, plus Jason Steele (as training goalkeeper). I want to take the opportunity, and thank Jason for being brilliant, and thank Brighton for being so cooperative.
"We chose nine defenders for four positions, we chose seven midfielders for three positions, and we chose seven strikers for three positions.
"I can assure every fan in the country that we have 26 100% committed players with us. Who know their role, who are ready to buy into their role on and off the pitch and who are ready and committed to the idea of team spirit and being unselfish."

Roberto de Zerbi's Tottenham need to get at least a point against Everton if they are to see off West Ham - assuming Nuno Espirito Santo's side do their job and beat Leeds at London Stadium.
But as if there wasn't already enough panic, Spurs have only won two league games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season - they've drawn six and lost 10, and are winless in their past 10 homes matches in the competition.
The 12 points Tottenham have picked up at home is the joint-fewest in the division, alongside already-relegated Burnley.
However, on the road it's been a vastly different story, with Spurs earning 26 points - only champions Arsenal and second-placed Manchester City have more.
If it certainly has not been home comforts for Tottenham in 2025-26, something to give the fans in north London hope is that Everton have only won one of their past 16 Premier League away games against Spurs, drawing four and losing 11. David Moyes' Blues are also without a win in six league matches.
Note of caution, though, Everton actually sit alongside Spurs in the away form table with 26 points - and they've obviously accumulated those in one fewer fixture. Tottenham fans will have everything crossed the Toffees finish the campaign with a maximum of 27 points on their travels!
Does being at home actually make Sunday more of a concern for Spurs?

Image source, Getty ImagesAs the final whistle went at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening and Spurs were left just two points from relegation with one game to go, my friend asked me: "How has it come to this?"
It's a fair question and one that will need answering with brutal honesty this summer, whether we survive the drop or not. This type of season is fast becoming the norm at Tottenham Hotspur and that is simply unacceptable.
Spurs fans will be feeling hard done by. It seems as though our team has been on the wrong end of baffling refereeing decisions and infuriating VAR outcomes all campaign.
The most painful truth, however, is that our team has just not been good enough. As frustrating as some of those key moments and decisions in matches have been, they are not to blame for our ultimate downfall.
As much as the players have not performed well enough, it is the decision-makers in the boardroom who are the real monsters of this horror show. Their consistent incompetence has left us hanging on to our place in the Premier League by a thread, and not for the first time.
This capitulation has been years in the making. Not a sudden fever that takes hold in the night, but more like a post-viral fatigue that you can't quite shake. We have stumbled, disorientated and disorganised into oblivion as the board has made one bad decision after another.
So, it's going right down to the wire on the final day of the season. I am desperate for us to stay up, but my main concern with us surviving is that the board will simply breathe a sigh of relief, and we'll just be subjected to a repeat of this mess next term.
Unless we want to get stuck in this recurring nightmare forever, significant changes are needed in the boardroom and everywhere else.
One way or another, this has to be a summer of transformation at Spurs.

Image source, Getty ImagesTottenham "looked like the Spurs of four weeks ago" in Tuesday's damaging defeat at Chelsea, says former goalkeeper Paul Robinson.
Spurs knew a point would all but guarantee survival but instead they go into their final game at home to Everton with a two-point advantage over third-bottom West Ham, but with the door left ajar for Nuno Espirito Santo's side to escape.
"I was genuinely full of hope," Robinson told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.
"The record for Spurs going to Stamford Bridge was all against them, but I was thinking in the last four games they are undefeated, two wins, better performances. They were due one but then they were not due one with the way they played.
"First half they lacked the fight, endeavour and belief. They sat back defensively and were passive, allowed Chelsea to have possession. Chelsea didn't have to do a lot to win this game, Tottenham were not how they have been under Roberto de Zerbi.
"He will be disappointed. There has been a gradual improvement under him and you could see he's had time on the training ground. The belief you saw in the players at Aston Villa - you could see the real impact the manager was having with the pressing and intensity and how they were carrying the ball.
"Then the Leeds game happened and I think that damaged them coming into tonight. Fans expected them to win that game and it maybe dented their confidence and belief a little bit coming into this game. They looked like the Spurs of four weeks ago tonight."
Danny Murphy thinks Tottenham would have "bitted your hand off" a few weeks ago for the scenario they face on Sunday whereby a draw against Everton will all but secure their Premier League status.
Spurs are just two points above West Ham, and if they fail to pick up any points and the Hammers draw or win, then they could go down.
Murphy thinks Roberto de Zerbi's side will be "disappointed" they didn't secure safety when they suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat against Chelsea on Tuesday night.
Speaking on Match of the Day Murphy said: "They showed some resilience, some fight, they did have better energy, they finished the game strongly and they'll be disappointed.
"The overall performance wasn't too bad from Tottenham, they started the game really well, looked really energetic, that goal set them back a little bit.
"It's a big one now at the end of season against Everton.
"The mentality at Tottenham has to be, four or five weeks ago we were written off.
"If you'd said to Tottenham fans and players it's going to go down to the last day and you've got to get a draw or a win at home to Everton, they would have bitten your hand off.
"That's the positivity, you've got to think of it that way.
"The dilemma you have when you know a draw will suffice is that plays on your mind, and you really can't let it.
"They're at home against an Everton side who have petered out a little bit at the end of the season, they've got to be on the front foot and try to win the game, rather than be cautious and protective of that 0-0."
We asked for your views on Tuesday's game between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur and the relegation threat facing Spurs.
Here are some of your comments:
Matt: Zero creativity and zero quality on the ball. We deserve to be relegated. Even as a life long delusional Spurs fan I have lost hope.
Roger: The lack of quality in the group is massive. They are carrying players like Randal Kolo Muani and Richarlison. The midfield are all the same type, and they always look like coughing up a goal to lose a game. I will be surprised if they survive now as we can't buy a win at home.
Brian: This team is both fragile and quite undisciplined in fundamentals with the ball. Had Tel scored when Spurs were on top, it would have been a very different game. Chelsea scoring first threw Tottenham off their game for a good half hour of playing time. The goal wasn't Kinsky's fault. The swerve was the reason it worked. The defence takes the blame for standing off Enzo. Still have to believe that De Zerbi will get this right but man, the first goal matters with this bunch.
Jez: I've been loving Spurs for over 60 years. Sunday will be the darkest hole I've ever been in if we don't secure Premier League status. Dreading it.
Steve: Muani was appalling … an example of overpaid laziness and cost us a draw. The team were far better when he came off. Please do not start him against Everton.

Image source, Getty ImagesA foul - or in this case a penalty - can only be awarded if the ball is in play.
If the offence happens before the corner is kicked then the referee can't give a foul, they can only take disciplinary action - in this case a yellow card to Marc Cucurella.
The VAR will then check to make sure the ball has not been kicked while there is foul contact. If the attacker has already been pulled down there is no route for the VAR to initiate a review.
But two weeks ago, Everton were wrongly denied a penalty against Manchester City when Merlin Rohl was dragged the the floor by Bernardo Silva.
The VAR decided the holding had stopped before a corner was taken, but the Premier League's key match incidents panel ruled that to be incorrect.

Image source, Getty ImagesTottenham's incentive could not have been greater as they travelled to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea. Premier League survival was in their own hands.
They faced a Chelsea side whose form had been indifferent, and who had just suffered the disappointment of losing the FA Cup final to Manchester City.
Spurs started brightly, but once Chelsea went ahead through Enzo Fernandez there was a lack of urgency until it was too late, namely after Andrey Santos had put them two goals in arrears.
Santos' goal came just as head coach Roberto de Zerbi was about to make three substitutions, including James Maddison, who led lengthy Spurs protests to referee Stuart Attwell at the final whistle.
The point of contention was that penalty incident when Marc Cucurella clearly dragged Micky van de Ven to the floor, but the ruling was that the ball was not yet in play - a decision that infuriated Spurs.
In reality, despite a late flurry, Spurs did not produce enough creation or threat when the stakes were so high.
Now it all rides on Sunday's meeting with Everton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - with Spurs' top-flight status hanging in the balance.
Spurs know a point will almost certainly be enough to keep them in the Premier League, but nerves will be jangling after such poor form at home this season.
Tottenham manager Roberto de Zerbi, speaking to Sky Sports: "We created a first chance to score with [Mathys] Tel. It was a big save for Robert Sanchez.
"Then we concede one great goal because [Enzo] Fernandez, a big player, we could do something better. Then we stay in the game until the second goal, we lost a stupid ball. We conceded a second goal. But before the second goal, we created a big big chance with Richarlison.
"I think we played a very good game. We lost.
"But now is not the time to think too much of this game. We have to prepare the next game. We play in our stadium with our fans. With our qualities, with character, with pride and courage we have to play.
"But I am positive because today, we played a good game."
Spurs midfielder Joao Palhinha, speaking to Sky Sports: "We have to [use the defeat as fuel for final game]. That's the reality. We cannot think too much about the result.
"We more than played well. We needed the result to finish this thing that we have been living for a long time. This team needed a different result today. I think we deserved it.
"It's been a tough season for us with a lot of things happening inside the club. The reality is we have a final on Sunday. We want to keep Tottenham in the Premier League and we will go with everything.
"I don't think I need to speak too much about this game because we wanted to win. I think we deserved more. It's a big frustration.
"We will have Tottenham in the Premier League next season, I don't have any doubt about that because it's where the club belong. Let's go with everything."
Did you know?
Tottenham have lost 39 Premier League matches against Chelsea, only losing more against Manchester United in the competition (40).
Tottenham's fight to avoid relegation will go to the final day of the season following their defeat at Chelsea.
Spurs know a point against Everton at home on Sunday would be enough to stay up - barring an unrealistic goal difference swing in West Ham's favour.
How are you feeling? Are you worried for Sunday? Or do you think Spurs have enough to stay up based on that performance tonight?
Chelsea make four changes, with Malo Gusto and Reece James dropping to the bench, while Joao Pedro and Levi Colwill miss out entirely after starting Saturday's FA Cup final defeat by Manchester City.
Josh Acheampong, Andrey Santos, Pedro Neto and Liam Delap come in.
Interim head coach Calum McFarlane also switches to a back four for his final home game in charge.
Tottenham are unchanged for the third game in a row.
Roberto de Zerbi keeps faith in goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, despite Guglielmo Vicario returning. He replaces Brandon Austin as Kinsky's understudy on the bench.
