Concerns about the defense are growing as Tottenham's central defender Radu Dragusin decides the rest of the season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
"Dragusin is scheduled to undergo surgery this week after consulting with a specialist on Monday," global media The Athletic reported on Thursday. "He hurt his knee when he landed in the Europa League against Elpsborg last weekend.
Tottenham faces another big ordeal. The good thing is that he managed to sign centre-back Kevin Danso before the close of the transfer window this winter. The reason why Tottenham hastily tried to recruit the central defender seems to be related to Dragosin's injury.
Mickey Vanderben is currently back, but he does not appear to be in full physical condition. In the last English Premier League (EPL) match against Brentford, Archie Gray and Ben Davies took over as central defenders instead of Vanderben. None of these are professional central defenders.

Tottenham is set for an important showdown on the 7th. They will play the second match of the English Football League (EFL) Cup semifinals against Liverpool. If Gray and Davis take over as central defenders in the absence of Dragucin, it is likely that it will be difficult to respond to Liverpool, which has the world's best offense. Van Derven should be able to start, so he can bring some stability to the defense.
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min expressed a strong desire to lift the trophy this season. In the interview, Son Heung-min showed his willingness to put everything into winning the championship, saying, `I am fully focused this season and all the clubs deserve it.'
Victory over Liverpool is more important than anything else for his desperate wish to come true. The key is how to compensate for this defense's departure. In addition to the EFL Cup, you should pay attention to the FA Cup and the UEFA Europa League (UEL). The situation is not easy because EPL also has to use first-team players to avoid relegation.
Tottenham will be confirmed to advance to the finals if they draw Liverpool at least in the second round of the EFL Cup semifinals. The final opponent is likely to be Newcastle United. Last month, Newcastle defeated Arsenal 2-0 in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final. For Tottenham, facing Newcastle may be a little more likely to win than Arsenal, who are second in the EPL.
