“£27M Tottenham Star’s SHOCKING Injury Comeback Set to STUN Fans in August!”

Tottenham Hotspur are under pressure to improve this season after a disappointing 17th-place finish under Ange Postecoglou.

New manager Thomas Frank is tasked with turning things around and will be eager to maximise the potential of his current squad.

While Spurs are targeting reinforcements—most notably West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus, who has been heavily linked with a move—their success this season will largely hinge on the performances of players already at the club.

As pre-season gets underway, Frank is assessing his squad, but he’ll have to do without some key names for now due to injury.

James Maddison is currently sidelined, and Dejan Kulusevski underwent knee surgery at the end of last season.

Additionally, Radu Dragusin, who suffered an ACL injury last season, is still recovering and isn’t expected back until August.

That’s according to journalist Tom Barclay, who provided an update on his YouTube channel.

Barclay discussed Spurs’ centre-back situation and confirmed Dragusin’s likely absence at the start of the campaign.

Although Dragusin has been the subject of transfer speculation, his recovery from injury makes any potential move complicated.

“He obviously has a lot of centre-backs already,” Barclay explained.

“Takai, I think, becomes the ninth in the squad alongside Romero, Van de Ven, Danso, Dragusin—who I believe is on track to return in August—plus Ben Davies, Luka Vuskovic, Ashley Phillips, and Alfie Dorrington.”

Dragusin’s recent ACL injury has kept him out for most of 2025, marking a challenging period for the 23-year-old Romanian defender.

Prior to this, his injury record was nearly flawless, with only two previous absences caused by fatigue and COVID-19.

Now entering a critical stage in his recovery, Dragusin will be aiming to return stronger. His comeback will be vital for Spurs as they seek greater defensive solidity and a much-improved Premier League campaign under Frank’s leadership.

However, the road back from a serious injury like an ACL tear won’t be easy—and patience will be key.
