Striker Daniel Bîrligea (25 years old) has recovered from the injury suffered before the match with Farul, 2-1, and will be able to play on Sunday in the derby with Rapid, the last game of the year for the two.
3 days ago, Mihai Stoica, the president of the FCSB Administrative Council, said that it was impossible for Bîrligea to play with Rapid.
What's more, the official compared Bîrligea's leg to the “sky of Bacovia”, a former Romanian poet known for his melancholic style. It seems that the miracle happened 3 days away and the top attack will play with Rapid.
Mihai Stoica: “Daniel Bîrligea will play in FCSB – Rapid
“They might catch our game, but we don't know for sure. If we take recent events into account, we are confident. The idea is that today good news came from Bîrligea.
He had been saying for a few days that he wanted to try, and today he did absolutely everything he could do: running, kicking, jumping; pain is 0 out of 10. Leg is darker in color. I haven't seen it these days, the color was unrecognizable, but now it's fine.
You can play with the ankle, but not with the knee. He is fine, playing and pain free. No one would let him take any chances. It's a football game, we still have 9 legs of the regular season and hopefully get over the line, then another championship starts.

I think we are fine. Miculescu will not play. He will be at the beginning of training”, said Mihai Stoica, at Prima Sport.
On Wednesday, the boss Gigi Becali also announced that there are chances that Bîrligea will play in the derby: “I think Bîrligea will be recovered. He says he wants to play, now we'll see.”
