Dinamo will face Metaloglobus from 17:45, and Zeljko Kopic, the coach of the red-white team, will have at his disposal Cristi Mihai, the 21-year-old midfielder injured in the national youth team last month.
With Alexandru Musi injured and Adrian Caragea suspended, Cristi Mihai has a good chance of being the player who fulfills the U21 rule with Metaloglobus, according to dinamo1948.club.
Cristi Mihai, great chances to play in Dinamo – Metaloglobus
Mihai was absent from Dinamo's previous 4 games. With Botoșani (1-1), Oțelul (1-0) and Farul (0-0) he was injured. With FCSB, the midfielder sat on the bench without playing a single minute, not being 100% physically after the medical problems suffered last month.
Cristi Mihai has a good chance to appear on the field with Metaloglobus in a midfield alongside Cătălin Cîrjan and Eddy Gnahore, two of the team's leaders this season.
The player transferred from UTA in the summer has ticked off 9 matches in this Super League season in the shirt of the Bucharest team. He has yet to score or provide an assist.

Zeljko Kopic also has the Mazilu variant for the U21 rule with Metaloglobus
For the game with Metaloglobus, Kopic also has the Adrian Mazilu variant for the U21 rule. The 20-year-old right winger has played 3 games for Dinamo so far, coming off the bench in all of them.
He returned to the field at the end of November after a year and a half absence caused by medical problems. Thus, the Croatian coach from Dinamo decided not to risk with him as a starter until now.
It remains to be seen if Zeljko Kopic will choose to send Mazilu from the first minute in the match with the Pantelimon team.
What Dinamo could look like with Metaloglobus: Epassy – Sivis, Mărginean, Stoinov, Opruț – Cîrjan, Cr. Mihai, Gnahore – Armstrong, Soro, Karamoko/Mazilu.
