Elias Charalambous announced that two players returned to the FCSB squad before the match against Rapid Bucharest.
Before the derby on Sunday evening, the red-blue coach prefaced the game with Rapid and stated that he will again have Florin Tănase and Adrian Șut in the team.
Elias Charalambous confirms the return of Florin Tănase: “He’s back”
Florin Tănase suffered an injury that kept him away from the field in recent weeks. After missing the matches with Dinamo and Rangers, the red-blue striker is fit for the duel with Rapid, but it remains to be seen if Elias Charalambous will introduce him to the field from the first minute of the game.
During the conference before tomorrow’s match, the technician of the Superliga champion stated that Florin Tănase has resumed training with the team, but he did not confirm that he will be a starter in the first “11”.
“Bîrligea is suspended and will be OUT, but we have many solutions and players available. Tănas is back, and today we have the last practice, where we will decide who will be fit for tomorrow. We have an idea about who will play, but it is not the time to talk about it”, said Elias Charalambous, at the press conference.
The other return from the red-blue team is that of Adrian Șut. The midfielder suffered a death in the family and was gone for a few days to be with family. He will most likely start the match as a starter with Rapid, FCSB needing the best players in the match that can bring them closer to the leader U Cluj.
Probable Teams FCSB – Quick
- FCSB: Târnovanu – Crețu, Ngezana, Dawa, Radunovic – Șut – Miculescu, Băluță, Olaru, Musi – Tănase
- Fast: Siegrist – Manea, Ignat, Pașcanu – Onea, Christensen, Grameni, Borza – Dobre, Boupendza, Petrila
FCSB, ready to end the series of failures in front of Giulești
The red-blues have never won against Rapid of November 6, 2022, 3-1. And last season, Rapid was clearly superior in the duels with FCSB, but in the standings things were completely different, FCSB emerging as champions and Rapid finishing last in the play-offs.
“Is it an opportunity to fix the stat against derbies with Rapid? If we look at history, we were not champions for 8 years and won the title. You said we didn’t go to the Europa League groups for many years and we did this year. We didn’t win the Supercup, now we’ve also won this trophy,” Elias Charalambous said.
The FCSB – Rapid match will take place on Sunday, October 27, from 9:00 p.m.
