“Tottenham’s Medics in MELTDOWN! Star Player’s SHOCKING International Call-Up Sparks OUTRAGE!”
Tottenham set for major injury boost as long-term absentee nears return — but his national team may be acting too soon
Tottenham Hotspur have been dealing with a series of injuries in recent weeks, particularly in defence, with Radu Dragusin, Kota Takai, Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie, and Ben Davies all sidelined.
As a result, Thomas Frank has been forced to rely heavily on Kevin Danso and Micky van de Ven to hold things together at the back in the absence of several key players.
Among the absentees, Radu Dragusin’s situation is especially noteworthy.
The Romanian defender has been out of action since January with a serious ACL injury but is now closing in on full fitness.
Although he has returned to first-team training, he has yet to make an appearance for Tottenham this season.
Romania have been closely monitoring his progress and are eager to have him back in contention ahead of their upcoming World Cup qualifying fixtures.
The Spurs medical staff previously blocked his participation during the October international break, insisting he was not ready for competitive action despite Romania’s desire to include him in their squad.
According to a fresh report from the Daily Mail, Dragusin has now been named in Mircea Lucescu’s preliminary Romania squad for next month’s qualifiers against Bosnia-Herzegovina and San Marino.
Romania are pushing to secure a place at next year’s World Cup finals, and a win against Bosnia would give them a strong chance of finishing second in Group H behind Austria.
Any slip-up, however, would leave them depending on Austria to get a result in their final group game.
For Tottenham, Dragusin’s recovery is a major boost, particularly with their defensive depth stretched thin.
However, another setback at this stage would be disastrous, which explains the club’s cautious approach.
Supporters have praised the 23-year-old’s dedication throughout his rehabilitation, pointing to his rapid recovery as a sign of his professionalism and determination.
The next step will be to see him back on the pitch in a competitive fixture — a moment that would lift spirits at Spurs as they approach the busy festive period and continue to battle through a demanding schedule.
