The pictures posted by an international team’s football account show one injured Tottenham man training with his national teammates.
Over 30 Spurs players are on international duty and will be involved in 46 fixtures cumulatively across the globe during the international break.
Radu Dragusin was expected to be part of a six-player first-team group that would train at Hotspur Way, with the Romanian still recovering from his ACL injury.
Dragusin’s agent has said that the centre-back will be back in action in around a month, as he has been advised by doctors not to play for eight months after his ACL injury.
Tottenham defender Radu Dragusin has linked up with the Romanian squad
Last week, it emerged that Tottenham convinced Romania not to call up Dragusin for the upcoming international break, even though the national team wanted to have the 23-year-old in their squad.
The North London club did not want to take any risks with the defender’s recovery, and their request was respected, with the former Genoa man left out of the squad for their upcoming clashes against Moldova and Austria.
However, it turns out that the Tottenham Hotspur man has linked up with the Romania squad even though he has not been picked to play.

On the Romanian national team’s Instagram account, there is a picture showing Dragusin doing gym work, with the caption: “The Dragon is back! Nearly returning from the long-term injury he suffered, Radu Dragusin came to Mogosoaia to encourage his colleagues and for a workout in the gym.”
When will Dragusin return to full training at Spurs?
Dragusin has been pictured with the Tottenham team in some training drills over recent weeks, but he is not back in full training just yet.
Football.London report that the crux of the defender’s rehabilitation has now been completed, and the medical staff are taking things slowly as they want to avoid any potential setback.
The outlet adds that Dragusin will now step up his recovery and will return to full training within the next few weeks.
