Tottenham defender Radu Dragusin to miss remainder of season after ACL injury

Tottenham Hotspur defender Radu Dragusin is set to miss the remainder of the season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury to his right knee.

The 23-year-old sustained the injury during Tottenham’s victory over Elfsborg in the Europa League last week and will undergo surgery.

Radu Dragusin is expected to be sidelined for at least six months, with some ACL injuries keeping players out of action for up to a year.

Tottenham confirmed that Dragusin “will be assessed by our medical team to determine when he can return to training.”

Dragusin has been a regular starter, featuring in 21 of Tottenham’s last 23 matches.

The Romania international joins a growing list of sidelined players, including Destiny Udogie, Guglielmo Vicario, James Maddison, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Wilson Odobert, Cristian Romero, and Dominic Solanke.

Fellow defenders Micky van de Ven and Ben Davies have only recently returned to action.

Dragusin, who joined Tottenham from Genoa in a £25million deal in January 2024, will now focus on his recovery.

In transfer news, Tottenham bolstered their squad on Sunday by signing Austria defender Kevin Danso on loan for the rest of the season, with an option to buy for £21million.

On Monday, the club saw a £70million bid for England defender Marc Guehi rejected by Crystal Palace but completed the signing of 19-year-old attacker Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich.
