Tottenham Hotspur have shared an update on Radu Dragusin’s rehabilitation, two weeks after the defender underwent surgery following a serious ACL injury. The Romanian centre-back has taken to social media to show his progress as he works towards a return to full fitness.
After featuring more times this season than he might have expected, Tottenham Hotspur’s backup centre-back Radu Dragusin suffered a serious injury during the Lilywhites’ Europa League clash against IF Elfsborg.
The Romanian was introduced as a substitute for Micky van de Ven, but his night took a devastating turn after he went down and was taken off in the 66th minute of the game.
It was later confirmed that Dragusin had sustained an ACL injury, ruling him out for the remainder of the season. The club promptly announced that surgery would be required before the defender could begin his rehabilitation process. With a lengthy spell on the sidelines ahead, the focus quickly shifted to his road to recovery.

Following the devastating injury, Dragusin took to social media to admit that this was one of the toughest moments of his career. However, Dragusin reassured Spurs supporters that he was fully committed to making a strong comeback.
True to his word, the Romanian international has wasted no time in beginning his rehabilitation. Footage shared on Tottenham Hotspur’s official Instagram account shows the defender already putting in the work just two weeks after undergoing surgery.
Providing an update on his progress, Dragusin stated: “Two weeks post-surgery, progress is in motion. One step at a time, staying strong and moving forward.”
Radu Dragusin’s recovery reveals his grit and determination
Throughout his appearances this season, Dragusin has embodied a never-say-die attitude, often playing through knocks and minor injuries.
It is evident that he has carried this same determination into his recovery, demonstrating an impressive level of commitment so soon after surgery.
With the nature of his injury, he is expected to be sidelined for at least six months before he can return to full fitness. However, with the speed at which his recovery is going, he could return sooner than expected.
Spurs fans will be hopeful that when he does make his comeback, he will be fitter and stronger than ever, ready to compete with Kevin Danso for that third-choice slot.
