What's the latest team news and who is back in training?
From the last game, Ben Davies came off with a hamstring issue. Probably looking for a month or so for him out.
Gio Lo Celso similarly — though harder to diagnose where he's at at the moment. We'll send him for further tests on Monday to see exactly what the issue is. He'll miss this weekend.
Dane Scarlett has picked up an injury as well in training so he'll miss out.
And that's it really. Coming back… the only one that's joined the main group today is Romero. And that's it I think. Everyone else who's injured is still training away from the main group.
Is Cristian Romero close?
He's just started training so fair to say it might be a bit quick this weekend.
Radu Dragusin — what do you like about him, as a player and a person?
Obviously we know that position was a priority position for us going into the January transfer window. We let Davinson Sanchez go after the window closed so we knew if the right opportunity came in January we needed to bring somebody in. We did a fair amount of work on that and when we got closer to the time when we had to make a decision about it, Johan and his team did a lot of background work on it. I think he's a good fit for us from a football perspective.
He certainly has some great attributes as a young player and from my chats with him as a person he's come in with the right motivations about why he wants to take the next step and why Tottenham is the right club for him. I think he'll fit in really well with the group at the moment. Quite a few of them are in the same sort of age bracket. And part of that is hopefully we can build a team that grows together and I'm sure he'll be a good fit for that.
