FCSB coach confirms Alexandru Stoian is out of squad for Voluntari match due to illness

FCSB head coach Laurențiu Reghecampf confirmed that forward Alexandru Stoian will not be included in the squad for the team's next league match. The announcement comes just before FCSB travels to face FC Voluntari in round 12 of the Superliga.

Reghecampf explained that Stoian had contracted COVID-19, which caused significant physical suffering. The player was unable to train during his illness and has only recently resumed light running sessions. As a result, he is not fit for selection.

The scheduled match against FC Voluntari will take place away from home on Monday, 19 October 2026. Kick-off is set for 21:00. This fixture represents the twelfth round of the current Superliga campaign.

Stoian has been a contributing member of the FCSB attack this season. He has recorded two goals and provided one assist in league play so far. His recent form included scoring the decisive goal in a 1-0 home victory over Oțelul Galați.

The winning goal against Oțelul Galați came in the 65th minute of the match. This strike helped secure all three points for FCSB in that particular fixture.

Across his entire tenure with FCSB, Stoian has made 41 appearances. During these matches, he has scored eight goals and registered two assists. These statistics highlight his overall contribution to the club since joining.

Transfermarkt currently lists the market value of Alexandru Stoian at 550,000 euros. This valuation reflects his standing in the transfer market relative to other players in the league.

The absence of Stoian may impact the attacking options available to Reghecampf. Fellow forward Arnold Garita has yet to score a goal for FCSB since his arrival at the club.

Stoian has received public support from former national team players regarding his role in the team. Bogdan Stancu and Vlad Chiricheș have both advocated for giving Stoian more playing time.
