Tottenham Hotspur defender Radu Dragusin is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament.
The 23-year-old was forced off in the second half of Spurs’ 3-0 win over Swedish side Elfsborg in the Europa League last week. He has made 28 appearances in all competitions this season.
“Dragusin will undergo surgery for an ACL injury to his right knee,” Spurs said in a statement.
The Romania international’s injury is a blow to Spurs’ backline, with defenders Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie also sidelined, along with goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
Spurs signed defender Kevin Danso on loan from Ligue 1 side Lens on Sunday to bolster their defensive cover.
Postecoglou will take his Spurs team, currently languishing in 14th spot in the league, to Liverpool for their Carabao Cup semi-final second leg on Thursday.
Spurs hold a 1-0 advantage over the Merseyside giants.
