Tottenham ace Pedro Porro was excluded from Frank’s group
Therefore, Romero, 27, spearheads that group and is joined by , Ben Davies, Guglielmo Vicario and Micky van de Ven.
The selection left a few fans scratching their heads as they questioned the inclusion of Maddison, 28, Davies, 32, and Vicario, 28.
The England international has been after suffering a horror ACL injury in August.
Davies, on the other hand, hasn’t played so far this term, while Vicario hasn’t convinced between the sticks.
And many Spurs supporters were left baffled by the omission of Pedro Porro .
Porro, 26, successfully captained the North Londoners last week in the third round of the and led them to a 3-0 win over Doncaster.
One fan tweeted: “This seems odd. A bloke who is injured until next season, a bloke who won’t play, and a keeper who could conceivably be dropped due to poor performance.”
Another commented: “Maddison out for most of the season, and Ben Davies doesn’t play?! Porro will be gutted.”
A third wrote: “Pedro Porro. Does all the speeches in the huddles before each match. Captained against Doncaster. Makes no sense.”
This fan said: “Pedro Porro?? Love who’s been picked and I think for loyalty Ben Davies deserves it but I do think Porro deserved a shot too.”
And that one posted: “But not Porro who literally wore the armband the other night? Eh?”
