Dinamo București confirms Andrei Mărginean return after international break

Dinamo București official Andrei Nicolescu has confirmed that midfielder Andrei Mărginean is expected to return to competitive play only after the upcoming international break. The club has adopted a cautious approach regarding the 25-year-old's fitness, with Nicolescu stating they do not wish to force his return prematurely as he would likely be unable to complete a full match at this stage.

Mărginean sustained his injury during the 84th minute of the away match against CFR Cluj, where he was substituted by Matteo Duțu. As a result of that setback, he missed subsequent fixtures including the league encounter against UTA and the Cup match versus Chindia. The SuperLiga pause scheduled from November 9 to November 17 for national team duties provides the necessary window for his continued preparation without the pressure of immediate club commitments.

Beyond Mărginean, Dinamo is managing the recovery timelines of other key players. Alexandru Musi has resumed training with the squad but is not expected to be available for selection until the end of November. Striker George Pușcaș is similarly anticipated to return after the break; his agent indicated that the initial treatment for his issue was unsuitable. Despite these absences, Pușcaș recently extended his contract with the club until 2029, though he has yet to feature under manager Nuno Campos.

Nicolescu has publicly highlighted Mărginean’s development prior to the injury, praising his tactical understanding and positional awareness. The official noted that the midfielder has evolved significantly in how he reads the game and adjusts his positioning on the pitch, suggesting his eventual return will bolster the team's options during a busy period in both the championship and cup competitions.
