Thomas Frank (51 years old), Tottenham's coach, made the long -awaited announcement about the central defender Radu Drăgușin (23 years old). Crude down at the beginning of the year, the Romanian is ready to return to the field.
The stooper suffered a break of ligaments crossed at the right knee in an Tottenham – Elfsborg, a match in the Europa League, and was not played at all last season.
Frank offered a clear term for the first time, and the footballer is expected at the team's training in the next 7-10 days.
Radu Drăgușin, between caution and return to the field: “I am always a little more careful”
Although he enjoys the return of Drăgușin, Frank admitted that he would not force him from the beginning.
The technician will have more patience with him in the context in which he suffered a delicate injury, which removed from the circuit in the last 8 months.
“Drăgușin is close to return, he has been running for some time. I think he 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 the players will return faster, ”said Frank, quoted by Football.London.
Tottenham will play in 4 competitions this season: besides the championship and the two internal Cup competitions, Spurs will also be involved in the Champions League.
I am when I feel like I have less, but at the same time I am aware that I do not have to rush this injury, because it is a pretty difficult one to recover.
