Dinamo Coach Updates Pușcaș Recovery Ahead of Sepsi Match

George Pușcaș remains unavailable for Dinamo București as the Romanian club prepares to face Sepsi Sfântu Gheorghe away in the SuperLiga. Coach Nuno Campos confirmed that the 30-year-old striker is continuing individual recovery work for groin problems ahead of the match scheduled for 9 p.m., according to ProSport.ro and G4Media.ro.

Pușcaș has yet to make an appearance for Dinamo this season, despite joining the club in February 2026 after a nine-month period without playing. His ongoing recovery remains a concern for the team as it resumes league action following an international break.

Campos provided an update on the forward's condition before the Sepsi fixture, emphasizing that the rehabilitation process would continue without specifying a return date.

"Pușcaș is training alone, the recovery process continues. We must follow the process and we will see what happens," Dinamo coach Nuno Campos said.

Pușcaș first appeared in Dinamo's squad in early April and featured regularly until the penultimate round of the previous playoff campaign. Groin problems subsequently kept him off the field, according to the reports.

Dinamo entered the match at the top of the SuperLiga standings with 23 points from 10 rounds, ahead of Rapid București on 21 and defending champions Universitatea Craiova on 20, according to G4Media.ro. Sepsi occupied ninth place with 13 points.

The Bucharest side also returned to competition after a break of nearly three weeks caused by national team fixtures. Before the match, Dinamo had scored 23 goals and conceded seven, giving it a goal difference of 23-7.

Campos also addressed the presence of former Dinamo coach Ovidiu Burcă in the opposing dugout. Burcă was managing Sepsi when the teams met and previously helped Dinamo secure promotion back to Romania's top division after relegation to Liga 2.

"He did something important here. He is part of the club's history. I have great respect for the people who were at the club and who did a good job here," Campos said.

Burcă's tenure at Dinamo ended in November 2023. The team recorded two wins and four draws in 17 league matches during the period cited in the report.

Campos said Dinamo had prepared for the challenge of facing a team motivated to beat the league leaders, stressing the importance of maintaining concentration throughout training and matches.

"We had some good training sessions. We are ready for the match. Everyone usually wants to beat the first team in the standings.

This happens everywhere. For us, the focus is on our duties during matches, during training sessions, wherever we go. We must look at games seriously.

We have to do what we need to do as a team to win the match. When we work with the players every day, we feel that they have the ambition to improve even more. This is the most important thing, to focus on what really matters.

If we think differently, we will lose our concentration," Dinamo coach Nuno Campos said.

Following the Sepsi fixture, Dinamo's scheduled opponents include FC Botoșani, CFR Cluj, UTA Arad and FC Argeș, according to ProSport.ro.
