Thomas Frank, 52, the coach of Tottenham, gave news about the condition of defender Radu Drăgușin (23).
On January 30, Radu Drăgușin suffered a serious injury, the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee.
The time to return to the field, in an official match, is approaching. According to the words of the coach from Tottenham, Drăgușin will play in a friendly match in November, and it is possible to enter an official match towards the end of the following month.
Tottenham manager: “Drăgusin is close to rejoining”
“The recovery is going well. He's fully back in training. A torn anterior cruciate ligament… it's not necessarily complicated, but it's a serious injury because it keeps you out for 9 months and you have to get your knee strength back.
But because we don't train that much, we don't do a lot of big field stuff and he needs something like that. But he's definitely closer to playing again,” said Frank, quoted by Standard.uk.
Questioned if Drăgușin will play after the November breakthe Dane confirmed:
“It is probable. I think he will play in a friendly then, I understand, which is an important step in his recoveryThe November international match window was set between 10 and 18 November.
Frank, about FRF's desire to have Drăgușin in the national team: “It doesn't make sense”
In addition to this topic, the Tottenham manager was asked about the club's refusal to leave Dragusin with the national team this month. FRF would have wanted him in the lot, even if Radu is not renewed.
Frank replied succinctly: “Obviously I haven't talked to him about it, but it doesn't make sense to me.”
