Tottenham announced on its official website on the 5th (Korea time) that `It is highly likely that Mickey Panderpen will not play in the second leg of the League Cup semi-final against Liverpool.'
Tottenham reported on the club's website on the 4th that Radu Dragusin will undergo surgery for an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee. Tottenham said the timing of Dragic's return to training has not yet been determined, adding that the timing of Dragic's return to training has not yet been determined.
The BBC is also unlikely to be able to play for the rest of the season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee. He needs surgery. It is expected that he will not be able to play for at least six months. Tottenham has suffered 27 injuries since the start of the 2024-2025 season. Pedro Porro, Dejan Kulusevski, Lucas Beribal, Brandon Austin and Sergio Reguilon are the only players who have not left due to injury.
Global sports media The Athletic reported 'Dragusin will be unable to play this season and is expected to miss six months. The hopeful situation is that he will return early next season' he said, adding that he is not able to return this season.

Dragusin's injury is more painful because of the Tottenham centerback's injury brutality this season. Mickey Van der Pen and Christian Romero have already been out injured for a long time, making it difficult to properly manage the defense. Dragushin remained in place while the two players were away, playing as the main center back. He played 2,179 minutes this season, making him the most reliable center back in the team. However, with Dragusin also out, Tottenham could use only Panderpen, Ben Davies, Archie Gray, and Kevin Danso, who are still out of form after returning from injury, as centre-back.
Under these circumstances, even Van der Penn, who returned from injury, is expected to leave again, and Tottenham will have to play against Liverpool, the strongest team in the league, without a starting center back. Tottenham are building up their physical strength at Tottenham. Postecoglou said he will continue to move on from training until Panderpen and Romero are fully prepared.
"I think we should be more conservative about Panderpen and Romero," Postecoglou said in a press conference. Panderpen finished the game well, but I don't think he's ready to play EPL yet. After the loss of Dragusin, we will make sure that we are perfectly prepared without setbacks to keep our players out of danger," he said, expressing his conservative stance that it is virtually difficult to participate.

It is the last chance for Tottenham to turn this season around. Except for winning the League Cup, there is no chance to win for sure. Tottenham won the League Cup four times (1970-1971, 1972-1973, 1998-1999 and 2007-2008) and the last major trophy was also the League Cup. Son Heung-min also had a hard time at the last threshold. Although he reached the final during the 2020-2021 season, Jose Mourinho was replaced just before the final, and he lost to Manchester City 0-1 in a chaotic atmosphere and had to swallow the pain of being runner-up.
Son Heung-min has strongly expressed his will to win the championship through recent interviews. He said "I think every game is incredibly precious and it's a final. I'm playing with that kind of mind. Liverpool away game is even more special. It is only one step away from the League Cup final. I hope we prepare well and get good results to create a situation where we can go to Wembley (the venue for the Carabao Cup final). Not only me, but all the players have to be together and prepare well" he said. However, due to Dragic's injury, Son Heung-min will not be able to guarantee the result of the match against Liverpool.
With the fall of Dragusin and Panderpen, the only factor to look forward to is the newly joined Danso. Danso is a multi-resource player who played for lance. Both centre-back and right full-back are capable of playing. He has also joined the Austrian national team, and stands out for his athletic ability and solid physicality. He also has excellent ball handling ability. Tottenham succeeded in reinforcing the urgent defender by hijacking the player Wolverhampton wanted. If Danso adapts to the team immediately, he may fill Dragusin's place, but it is difficult to guarantee this.

Initially, Fikayo Tomori, who was delayed in the main competition in AC Milan, was mentioned. Tomori, however, refused to move to Tottenham. Italy's Gianlucadimargio 'Tomori has no intention of leaving Milan at this time. The final decision will be made by Tomori, who prefers to stay in Milan' Tottenham can certainly reinforce its defense if Tomori, who has excellent volumetric ability and is especially capable of covering the back space, joined, but Tottenham's offer was rejected. Since then, Mark Guehi and Axel DiSasi have also been offered by Tottenham, but they have all expressed their intention to refuse.
Tottenham's injury to the center back this season also broke out at the most important point. Attention is also focusing on whether Tottenham will be able to make a turnaround with freshman Danso without a single main center back.
