Tottenham’s coach, Australian Ange Postecoglu, has made a final decision regarding the starting lineup for the match against Newcastle, the first one in 2025 for Spurs.
The technician with origins from Greece has decided to start Radu Drăgușin again in the match against Newcastle on January 4, the opening game of the year in the Premier League. This decision comes as the magpies come with one of the most in-form attackers, Alexander Isak, so Drăgușin and the Londoners’ defense line will have a tough task.
Considering that Van de Ven and Romero are still injured and unavailable, Radu Drăgușin will be a starter again in the match against Newcastle.
"After a brief period of concern due to an injury following the 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest, Drăgușin has been declared fit to play in the match against Wolverhampton. With no other health issues, he is expected to continue as a more experienced central defender until the team's main options are available," analyzed those at Spursweb.com.
Recently, after the matches against Nottingham and Wolverhampton, Standard wrote about Drăgușin that he is imposing physically but very limited technically: "Radu Drăgușin is only 22 years old and has not been at Spurs for a year. He is imposing physically, but technically limited. In the short term, he plays an important role, but you wonder if he fits into an offensive team," noted the journalists from Standard.
Tottenham is in a delicate situation in the standings, being in 11th place in the Premier League, with 24 points, 11 points behind the top 4.
