Arsenal hero Freddie Ljungberg has slammed Tottenham defender Cristian Romero over his latest suspension.

Romero missed yesterday's defeat at Wolves after being sent off in defeat to Chelsea last Monday.

Ljungberg told ViaPlay: "If he is to be a top centre-back, he must calm down."

The former Arsenal coach says Micky van de Ven's injury absence also hurts Spurs.

"Van de Ven has been important. I don't know how many goals he has saved because he has won duels. Without his speed, Tottenham can concede several late goals."
