Mihai Stoica (60 years old), president of the Administrative Council from FCSBannounced that striker Daniel Bîrligea (25) has very little chance of playing again this year.
Daniel Bîrligea suffered a serious sprain and did not play in the last 4 games of the champion. FCSB has two more matches in 2025, on Monday, with Unirea Slbozia, and next Sunday, the derby with Rapid.
Even if the initial announcement was that the Romanian international would be able to play with Giulești, Mihai Stoica has now said that the chances are very small, Bucharest hopes, however, to recover David Miculescu until the match with Unirea Slobozia.
Mihai Stoica, about Daniel Bîrligea: “There are minimal chances that he will play again this year”
“There are minimal chances that Bîrligea will play again this year. Small, small, small chances. He has a very serious sprain and only took off his boot two days ago. His leg is more bruised than the sky of Bacovia. Yeah, I think it's the end of the year for him.
The medial staff is now struggling to make Miculescu good. If they manage to make Miculescu, we are good. Compared to last night's match, we will no longer have Ngezana and Baba, but we will also have Olaru and hopefully Miculescu as well!”, said Mihai Stoica, according to fanatik.ro.
Daniel Bîrligea is one of the best players of the champion this season. The striker ticked off 23 matches, 7 goals and 5 assists.

In the derby with Dinamo, Florin Tănase was sent to the field in the forward position and tackled a “false 9” role. Another option for FCSB is Mamadou Thiam. Alibec fell into disgrace with the boss and would leave the team.
There would also be the Alexandru Stoian option, but only for the match with Unirea Slobozia in the championship.
