The health problems of the selector Mircea Lucescu (80 years old) are more serious than they initially seemed. He was again hospitalized urgently at the beginning of this week, at the University Hospital in Capital, and the doctors monitor him 24/24. The FRF may consider looking for a replacement for the March dam.
Mircea Lucescu is going through moments of balance. Discharged last week, after having several problems due to a cold that got complicated, the national team coach is back in the hospital, but the problems are much more serious than they initially seemed, not just a simple cold.
Mircea Lucescu is in serious condition, having a complex, chronic, lasting condition, wrote golazo.ro.
Medical sources confirmed on Tuesday morning for GSP.ro: “Mircea Lucescu's situation is serious, being constantly monitored”.
Mircea Lucescu, hospitalized at the University: health problems are more serious than they initially seemed
He is in reserve at the University Hospital, stable, permanently connected on laptop and tablet to the matches of the players he has in his sights for the play-off in March, but doctors are skeptical that he could be at full strength in less than two months to lead the national team from the bench in Istanbul.
From GSP.ro information, Mircea Lucescu wanted to go to Belgium last week, to do a thorough check-up, after all the problems of the last period, but because the state of health worsened, the option fell through and he made the decision not to go abroad.
On Monday, he was hospitalized again, at the University Hospital in Bucharest, in the cardiology department. This is the third admission in the last month. He is now under the careful supervision of one of Romania's best cardiologists, Dr. Cristian Udroiu.
FRF ponders replacement for crucial tie with Turkey
In the context of Mircea Lucescu's health condition being serious, the FRF officials are inevitably already thinking about a substitute option 7 weeks before the semi-final of the tie with Turkey, on March 26, in Istanbul, in case Lucescu will not be able to sit on the bench.
The selector would undergo a re-evaluation at the beginning of the week and it remains to be seen what the news is from the doctors, who are currently skeptical that he will be able to recover by the Turkey match.
