Star Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky and centre-back Cristian Romero were involved in a massive clash during the team’s match against Sunderland on Sunday, April 12, and the incident saw the latter walk off the field in tears.

Relegation-threatened Spurs were already 1-0 down after Nordi Mukiele’s deflected opener at the Stadium of Light and concern followed when Brian Brobbey appeared to nudge Romero before colliding with Kinsky while rushing back to collect a loose ball.

Sunderland full-back Noah Sadiki signalled for the medics to attend to the Spurs pair and after a lengthy stoppage, with both footballers receiving on-field treatment, Romero was left in tears as he walked off the field.

Brandon Austin had been readied as a potential substitute for Kinsky amidst concerns over the Czech goalkeeper, but he carried on with a bandage wrapped around his head.

For Romero, it marked another painful setback after being forced off with a concussion concern against Atlético Madrid last month, with fans paying tribute as he left the field emotional.

“I have a PANIC fear of Cuti Romero’s right knee,” a fan tweeted on Sunday evening.

It was the latest setback in the game after Spurs were awarded a penalty, only for VAR to overturn the decision, with Randal Kolo Muani appearing to be brought down by Omar Alderete and Luke O’Nien inside the area.
