'Knee is great now' - Kulusevski gives injury update
[Getty Images] Tottenham winger Dejan Kulusevski has issued an update on his continued rehabilitation, saying his knee is "great" after a recent "intervention". Kulusevski has not played since May 2025 after seriously injuring his knee in a challenge with Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. The injury required surgery on the Sweden international's right patella, but he was expected to return around the end of last year.
He has remained sidlelined for longer than expected however, with former Tottenham boss Thomas Frank saying before his dismissal last month that he "didn't know" if Kulusevski would play again this season and current interim head coach Igor Tudor saying on Friday there is no timeline yet for his return. Images on social media showing the 25-year-old limping at his country's national team camp this week had also sparked concern among Spurs fans. In a post on his Instagram story, Kulusevski said: "Just to clarify things.
I'm limping because I had a small intervention in the knee two weeks ago. "Went in and took out what was not suppose to be there. Knee is great now.
Thanks for all the support. " When asked about Kulusevski before Thursday's World Cup play-off against Ukraine, Sweden manager Graham Potter said: "Dejan is making progress, but not as quickly as we would have liked. "
