Radu Drăgușin (23 years old), the Romanian footballer of those from Tottenhamwas left outside the list for the Champions League by the English Club.
This is close to a return from the injury, but will not take minutes in the European competition for Spurs. The Romanian defender is not the only footballer left by Thomas Frank outside the list: Mathys Tel, Yves Bildouma, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Kota Takai were also left on the outside.
Radu Drăgușin, Out from the Champions League list of Tottenham
After Thomas Frank announced that the Romanian will enter the team circuit in mid -September, the coach left him outside the group for the Champions League. Kulusevski, James Maddison and Kota Takai are injured, while Tel and Bissoum are fit for the game, but the coach decided not to include them in the European Cups.
Tottenham will play in 4 competitions this season. In addition to the championship and the two internal Cup competitions, Spurs will also be engaged in the Champions League.
The Romanian stooper suffered in winter a break of cross ligaments at the right knee, in an Tottenham – Elfsborg, a match in the Europa League, and no more played in the last season. Drăgușin started the individual training, but has not yet entered the team circuit and will last until he is reintegrated.
Drăgușin is close to return, he has been running for some time. I think it should join the team in a week, maximum 10 days. This is the positive part, but of course it is a cross -ligament rupture.
I am always a little more careful, not necessarily worried, but aware that it takes time. Once you are missing nine months of football, you need a complete reintegration.
Six weeks of summer is not enough. You need more time. In some cases the situation is positive and surprises may occur, and players will return faster
