Up to this moment, no other emergency call-ups have been announced, with 29 names remaining in the team.
The fans accuse the players of being injured: “They had their holiday tickets reserved”
In the comments section of the national team's Facebook post, fans are hurling accusations and claiming that in fact there were no injuries and that the two players had gone on vacation to rest after a long and demanding season.
Dennis Man became champion in the Netherlands, with PSV, while Ionuț Radu was the starter between the goals of Celta Vigo, in La Liga, a team with which he finished in 6th place and qualified for the Europa League.

“Did they have their holiday tickets booked?”;

“It's clear, they're in pain for friendly matches”;
-
“Worth a vacation”;
-
“They don't feel like it. If they went to the World Cup, they would be cannon”;
-
“One champion, the other player of the season, attendance for what? Bravo to them, holiday”;
-
“I understand Man, he needs a vacation after a good season, he doesn't feel like friendlies anymore”;
-
“Well done!!! Why waste your time with a scumbag like Hagi??? Have a nice holiday, guys”;
-
“I daresay these two superstars are already on vacation.”
Craiova sent a message to Hagi, after Radu's injury
Those from Craiova University are expecting acum for the goalkeeper Laurențiu Popescu (29 years old) to be called up by Gică Hagi to the national team instead of the injured Ionuț Radu (29).
About two hours after the news of the injuries of the two, the people of Olten posted on Facebook a photo of Laurențiu Popescu while holding a speaker in his hand and singing with the gallery. “Don't be afraid…” is the message that appears next to the post. The suggestion is that Hagi should bring the holder of the new champions instead of Radu.
Until 5:30 p.m., no official summons telegram had arrived at the Oltean club, according to GSP information. Hagi will most likely wait until after the Dinamo – FCSB tie to complete his squad. He announced that he wants 33 footballers at his disposal, and now, after these injuries, he has 4 free places.
