Dragusin has been training with the Tottenham squad over the last few weeks and is edging closer to being called upon by manager Thomas Frank, who has been reluctant so far to throw him back in the side.
The Romanian central defender has been out since injuring his ACL vs. Elfsborg in the Europa League last January 30th in what was a devastating blow for the 23-year-old.
Now, after a closed-doors friendly against Leyton Orient at Hotspur Way, the Romanian international has given an update to fans who should expect to see him back over the next few months.
"I learned to be patient and to never take anything for granted," Dragusin said.
"Because one day you are on the top of the mountain, next second you are with this kind of injury. This is life, it's only to make me stronger, make me more resilient. I've never given up and things are really close to being back as normal."
Dragusin played 45 minutes against Leyton Orient, as was planned, and revealed that it was difficult to adapt to being back in a game after training behind the scenes.
"It’s different, you can train how much you want, but once you are there in 11v11 on a big pitch, it's different, you can't really replicate it in the training," Dragusin said.
"It’s the details like the sprints back, the adversity, the exposure that you get as a defender, it was a good day.
"It felt good, first minutes in 10 months out, finally minutes in the legs and I just have to build on this."
Despite Dragusin’s comeback, striker Dominic Solanke did not to play a part in the friendly as he continues to recover slowly behind the scenes.
