Roma defender Mario Hermoso is set for a spell on the sidelines through injury, which leaves the Giallorossi pondering a return to the negotiating table for Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Radu Dragusin according to reports in Italy. 

Hermoso injured, Roma return to Dragusin

According to reports from various outlets, Hermoso has suffered a second-degree strain to his hip flexors and is set to miss around a month’s worth of action. 

This leaves Gian Piero Gasperini short on options at centre-back, and as a result, Roma could return to talks with Tottenham over a potential move for former Genoa and Juventus Next Gen defender Dragusin. 

Claudio Ranieri’s side have already been in discussions with the North London outfit over a potential deal for the Romania international. According to reports last week, the Giallorossi had suggested a loan deal until the end of the season with a potential obligation to buy depending on Champions League qualification. 

According to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio, Roma are now evaluating their next steps in discussions with Tottenham.
