Denis Drăguș played 23 minutes in the match against U Cluj after entering as a substitute in the 67th minute for Aymen Boutoutaou. This appearance marked his return to action after sustaining an injury on September 19 during the first half of the fixture against Universitatea Craiova.

Following the match, FCSB owner Gigi Becali commented on Drăguș’s performance. He stated that he liked the player's quality, speed, and ability to eliminate opponents in one-on-one situations during the game against U Cluj.

Becali also addressed how Drăguș fits into the squad's future tactical setup depending on recruitment. He stated that if FCSB signs a striker, Drăguș will play on the left wing. Conversely, if the club signs a left winger, Drăguș will be deployed as a striker.

The comments came after FCSB suffered their first league defeat under manager Laurențiu Reghecampf. The result against U Cluj also represented the team's second consecutive loss overall in all competitions.

As a result of the defeat, FCSB reached seventh place in the Superliga table with 21 points. The team sits two points behind the play-off zone following the U Cluj result.

Becali offered criticism of other attacking players in the same assessment. He stated that Korenica lost all balls in the first half and noted that Aymen Boutoutaou did nothing against U Cluj before being substituted.

Looking ahead to roster changes, Becali stated he intends to sign three or four players in the winter transfer window. The targeted positions include a right-back, a number 6, a number 9, and a playmaker.

FCSB is scheduled to play Corvinul at home in the final round of the Superliga first stage. The team then begins the return stage with an away match against FC Argeș on November 23 at 20:00.
