Radu Dragusin will do everything he can for ‘smooth recovery' after knee surgery
The Romanian sustained a serious knee injury during the Europa League win against Elfsborg on January 30, and is set for a lengthy spell of rehabilitation.
After having an operation on Tuesday morning, the 23-year-old posted a picture of himself on social media from his hospital bed at the start of a long road back to fitness.
'This morning, I successfully got through the surgery, which went perfectly. I am grateful to the entire medical team for their care and professionalism,' Dragusin wrote on Instagram.
'At the same time, I am thankful for all the messages of encouragement and your continuous support. It's wonderful to feel this kind of support.
'I will do everything I can to ensure a smooth recovery and come back stronger as soon as possible.'
Dragusin, signed from Genoa for £25million in January last year, has made a total of 28 appearances for Ange Postecoglou's side this season, including 14 Premier League starts.
The loss of Dragusin was the latest in a long injury list for the under-pressure Spurs boss, who has seen his side now exit the Carabao Cup and FA Cup in the space of 72 hours.
Spurs sit 14th in the Premier League ahead of their next game at home to Manchester United on Sunday, with Europe now the sole focus for Postecoglou to deliver a trophy in his second season.

Brighton respond to Man Utd's player-plus-cash offer for Carlos Baleba
Manchester United have reportedly made their opening offer for Brighton star Carlos Baleba, including one of their own players in their bid. Ruben Amorim has primarily focused on improving his attack in his first summer at Old Trafford, splashing around £200million on Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko. Much more work to the squad is required if United are to challenge for the Premier League title, with the club linked with signing a new goalkeeper in the form of Gianluigi Donnarumma. Recruiting a new central-midfielder would appear to be their next priority, with Amorim admitting in pre-season that his side lack pace in the middle of the park. To that end, the Red Devils made contact with Brighton last week to enquire over how much it would cost to sign Baleba, one of the most promising young talents in the league. In The Mixer: Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every week – sign up, it's an open goal. The Seagulls have no interest in selling the 21-year-old this summer and in any case would want upwards of £100m, with Manchester City also keen on the player. But that hasn't stopped United, who, according to The Standard, have made their first bid for Baleba, offering a transfer fee plus young midfielder Toby Collyer in part-exchange. That offer has been rejected, with Brighton holding out for a fee akin to the £115m Chelsea paid to sign Moises Caicedo two years ago, but United's interested has not lessened. Erik ten Hag handed Collyer his senior debut last season and he has since gone on to make 13 appearances for United. More Trending He has featured several times during United's pre-season but it is thought he could be loaned out for the upcoming campaign, with Championship side Sheffield Wednesday interested. Baleba meanwhile has missed Brighton's last three pre-season friendlies, leading to suggestion that the Cameroon international was being left out amid the transfer speculation. That is reportedly not the case however and instead he has been ruled out due to a knee injury and was watching on from the sidelines as his side played Wolfsburg behind-closed-doors last weekend. It remains to be seen whether Baleba will be fit to play in Brighton's opening game of the season against Fulham on Saturday, while United host Arsenal on Sunday.

Gianluigi Donnarumma open to move away from PSG amid reported Man Utd interest
The Italian goalkeeper has been left out of PSG's squad for Wednesday's UEFA Super Cup match against Tottenham, and it is understood he will now leave Paris this summer if the right move opens up. Manchester United have been linked in some reports with an interest in the 26-year-old, who is out of contract next summer. However, it is understood that up to this point there has been no contact from United to PSG regarding Donnarumma. The European champions completed the signing of Lucas Chevalier from Lille over the weekend, and Donnarumma has now been left out for the game against Spurs in Udine. Donnarumma was part of the Italy squad which won Euro 2020 by beating England in the final on penalties, and is still regarded as one of the world's top goalkeepers. He made over 200 appearances for AC Milan before joining PSG in 2021. He has won four Ligue 1 titles with the Parisiens and was part of the team which thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 to win last season's Champions League title.
