Ionuț Radu faces injury concerns and selection pressure
Following Romania's recent losses to Sweden and Bosnia in the UEFA Nations League, goalkeeper Ionuț Radu is facing scrutiny regarding both his performance and a potential injury. Reports indicate that Radu may have arrived at the national team camp with a right shoulder injury, which became more pronounced after the match against Bosnia. He reportedly underwent an MRI in Bucharest to assess the condition.
Former goalkeepers Florin Prunea and Bogdan Stelea have suggested that head coach Gheorghe Hagi may bench Radu for the upcoming match against Poland to protect him or due to recent errors. Meanwhile, defender Dragusin has expressed full confidence in Hagi's leadership and the team's ability to recover in their next fixture.
