The mission of the selector Edward Iordănescu becomes increasingly difficult with a month and a half until the start of Euro 2024, considering the fact that Romanian footballers are becoming victims of injuries.
Romania could be without important players at Euro 2024 who made decisive contributions in the preliminaries phase.
Andrei Burcă suffered a muscle tear
The centre-back who plays for Al Akhdoud left the field injured in the 23rd minute in the most recent league game with Abha, score 4-0.
The doctors’ verdict was quite worrying: the 31-year-old footballer suffered a muscle tear.
Emergency mobilization at FRF
After receiving the results of the MRI performed by Burcă, the FRF officials decided that the footballer should return to the country, to the training camp in Mogoșoaia, to enter a rapid recovery program.
“Edi Iordănescu and the medical staff mobilized immediately after receiving the results of the MRI and decided that Andrei should get to Mogoșoaia sooner, a few days before the team’s reunion, and enter a well-planned recovery program to the point. It’s the last hope to have him fit for the first game in Germany or any of the games.” they sent FRF sources, for ProSport.
List of injured tricolors
Olimpiu Moruțan (Ankaragucu) was operated after an Achilles tendon injury, during the first leg of the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup between Ankaragucu and Beşiktaş, a duel that ended in a white draw.
It would take at least 6 months for the midfielder to recover.
The presence of defensive midfielder Vladimir Screciu (Univ Craiova) is also in question, after the footballer was injured in the derby with FC U Craiova in March. The university prevailed with a score of 2-1. However, the team from Bănie assures that Screciu will return to the playing field as soon as possible, despite the fact that the footballer did not play a single minute in the play-off phase.
Dennis Man, who has been in very good form this season, missed Parma’s last Serie B match due to muscle inflammation. Doctors say, however, that the extreme will recover in about 10 days.

Florinel Coman (FCSB) missed the duel with Farul, the match after which the red-blues mathematically won the title in the Superliga this season. The emotions regarding Romania’s presence at the Euro are not so great in his case.
