Dragusin is out, Postecoglou talks about other players' injuries

Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Radu Dragusin has become the latest defender to miss out through injury and will miss Tottenham's Premier League clash with Brentford on Sunday.

At the same time, Tottenham is stepping up its defense and has entered into advanced negotiations with AC Milan on the transfer of English central defender Fikayo Tomori. According to Sky Sports, a source revealed that the former Chelsea defender has not yet reached a personal agreement on the transfer.

Tottenham Hotspur hopes to complete a defender signing before the winter transfer window closes, and the 27-year-old Tomori is one of the multiple options they are examining. At present, Tottenham Hotspur is facing serious injuries in the back line. Coach Angel Postecoglou confirmed at a press conference on Friday that the team's main central defender Christian Romero still needs a few weeks to recover, and Dragusin was injured in Thursday's Europa League victory over Elfsborg and will miss this round of the Premier League.

Talking about the team's current defensive situation, Postecoglou said: "We still need to observe the development of the situation and get more information at the weekend. But what is certain is that Dragusin will not be able to play in this game."

“As for the rest of the squad, Jed Spence and Sergio Reguilon should be available for the weekend.”

Talking about the impact of the injury wave on the team, Postecoglu said with a wry smile: "Every time I thought I saw the light, I found out that it was just an oncoming train."

In addition, Bo Shuai also updated the recovery of other injured players: "In about 10 days, Vicario, Brennan Johnson, Udoji, Odo Bell, Werner and others should be able to return. However, Romero's situation is more difficult."

"His injury is recovering very slowly and we can only assess it week by week. He has been out for a while and recovery requires more patience."

At this critical time when the winter transfer window is about to close, Tottenham is making every effort to strengthen its defense in order to cope with the intensive schedule and severe injury challenges.
