Radu Dragusin (Tottenham Hotspur)
October 2025
Tottenham rejected Romania’s attempt to call up defender Radu Dragusin for October fixtures against Moldova and Austria, citing his continued ACL rehabilitation. The 23-year-old has not played since January and is still under Spurs’ strict medical recovery programme.
Romania manager Mircea Lucescu admitted Spurs’ decision was justified despite Dragusin’s eagerness to return. With World Cup qualifying hopes at stake, Romania will proceed without him. Spurs stress patience is key for a full recovery, prioritising club-controlled training over international duty.
