It’s fair to say that whilst 2025 has been a successful year for Tottenham Hotspur, they have certainly had their fair share of injuries.
Ange Postecoglou’s team saw their campaign nearly derailed due to multiple injuries, but fortunately, it culminated in the Europa League victory in Bilbao.
Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping for better fortunes under their new boss, Thomas Frank, and they have just received a welcome boost.
One of the players who picked up a bad injury during Postecoglou’s time in charge has just made his long-awaited return to training.
Radu Dragusin returns to training after ACL injury
After seven months on the sidelines, Radu Dragusin has finally returned from an ACL injury, which is quite some going.
Back at the end of January, Dragusin suffered a devastating injury during Spurs’ 3-0 win over Elfsborg in the Europa League.
In July, Dragusin commenced ball work, but now he has finally returned to full training with his Tottenham teammates.
Seven months of recovery from an ACL injury is quite impressive, with nine months often being the amount of time it takes to come back to training.
The 22-year-old will be hoping to hit the ground running under Frank, and he could be one of the beneficiaries of the Dane’s arrival.
Spurs’ defence shipped so many goals in Postecoglou’s high line, whilst also having an array of different partnerships due to injury.
Now, having a clean slate under a new manager and playing in a system which has a greater defensive structure, Dragusin, who cost £26m, could finally return to his best.
Frank’s squad are short of cover in central defence, but having Dragusin as an option will be greatly appreciated by the 51-year-old.
Dejan Kulusevski is expected back from injury in two or three months
Dejan Kulusevski has revealed that he is expected back from injury in two or three months after undergoing knee surgery back in May.
The Swede has been working hard to ensure that he returns as soon as possible, but his recovery is still taking time.
Speaking to Fotbollskanalen, Kulusevski said: “The status is good. The rehab is going well. Every day I wake up with the same hunger and even more hunger with each passing day.
“I will be on a football pitch in the very, very near future. If everything goes, as it should, as it has so far, I’m very confident that I will be on the pitch in two to three months.”
