Radu Dragusin faces a lengthy absence after Tottenham announced his anterior cruciate ligament injury. The injury occurred during Spurs' Europa League match against Elfsborg last week. Dragusin had been one of the few available defenders for Ange Postecoglou, especially with Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven also sidelined. Unfortunately, Dragusin will be out for the remainder of the season.
To strengthen their defence, Spurs have brought in Kevin Danso on loan from Lens in Ligue 1. Meanwhile, Micky van de Ven has made his return to the field. These moves aim to fill the gap left by Dragusin's injury and ensure defensive stability.
Tottenham is set to face Liverpool at Anfield in the EFL Cup semi-finals on Thursday. They hold a narrow 1-0 lead from the first leg, which they hope to maintain or extend to secure a spot in the finals.
The club's medical team will monitor Dragusin closely after his surgery. They aim to determine when he might resume training. The team and fans are rallying behind him during this challenging period.
Spurs' recent signings and player returns are crucial as they navigate through their current fixture list. With key matches ahead, maintaining a solid defence remains a priority for Postecoglou's squad.
