Having been in very good form this autumn, attacking midfielder Tavi Popescu has been struck by some fantastic bad luck and will no longer play for the FCSB champions in 2024.
Mihai Stoica, the manager of the red-blues, was the one who revealed that the left midfielder of Elias Charalambous injured his heel in the away match won against the leader Universitatea Cluj and became unavailable for a long period of time.
Coup! Tavi Popescu is out of FCSB: “He also finished 2024”
The Stoic meme stated that Octavian Popescu ended this yearafter the heel injury suffered at the Cluj Arena was more serious than first thought. The midfielder, who has been in good form for some time, complained of pain in subsequent training sessions, and his problem is a more complicated one, so it will keep him away from the pitch for quite some time.
The problem is as serious as possible for Elias Charalambous, because both Tavi Popescu and Alexandru Pantea, two of the underdogs, will no longer play this year, so Alex Musi remains the only option.
The red-blue infirmary is full at the moment, ahead of Thursday night’s match against FC Botoșani from the Superliga. Even Mihai Stoica confirmed that, in addition to Octavian Popescu, Pantea, Lixandru and Băluță will no longer play this year.
In addition to the injured, Vali Crețu saw his fourth yellow card this season, and Adrian Șut was eliminated with “U” Cluj, which is why they are suspended for the match against Liviu Ciobotariu’s team.
“Octavian Popescu also finished 2024, because he has an injury that… It’s the problem with the heel, he can’t play. Pantea, Lixandru, Octavian Popescu, Băluţă finished the year”, said Mihai Stoica, at primasport.ro.
Good news about Chiricheș, Dawa and Baba Alhassan
In the same vein, Mihai Stoica also spoke about the state of health of Baba Alhassan, who he said could return to the last 2 matches of the year, even if it was rumored that 2024 is over for him as well.
At the same time, the president of the FCSB Board of Directors assured that the rest of the players are fit for the following matches, including Joyskim Dawa and Vlad Chiricheș.
“Baba (no – Alhassan) is likely to play in the last two matches of the year, with Iasi and Craiova in the Romanian Cup. The others are fine, including Chiricheş, Dawa”, the FCSB official also told the source cited above.
