Dejan Kulusevski Injury

Tottenham have been dealt yet another injury setback, with key forward Dejan Kulusevski sidelined due to a foot injury.

According to Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mirror, the Sweden international is currently undergoing tests to determine the severity of the issue, but he is expected to miss the next two games at least.

What Games Will Kulusevski Miss?

Kulusevski’s absence means he will almost certainly sit out Tottenham’s Europa League clash against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday, as well as their Premier League fixture against Bournemouth this weekend.

Whether he will recover in time to feature before the international break remains uncertain, with manager Ange Postecoglou expected to provide an update soon.

Tottenham’s Injury Crisis Deepens

The Kulusevski injury is the latest in a series of fitness concerns that have plagued Spurs this season.

The club have already been struggling with injuries to key players, including Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Dominic Solanke, Richarlison, Radu Dragusin, and Ben Davies.

While Romero and Van de Ven are reportedly nearing a return, Kulusevski’s setback further complicates Postecoglou’s squad selection, particularly in attack.

Since arriving from Juventus in June 2022, Kulusevski has established himself as a pivotal player for Tottenham.

This season alone, he has made 42 appearances, contributing 10 goals and 10 assists. His dynamic attacking presence and playmaking ability will be sorely missed as Spurs continue their push in the Europa League.
