Dejan Kulusevski - knee

Tottenham Hotspur winger Dejan Kulusevski (24) provided a scare on Sunday 11 May, after being forced off just 19 minutes into Spurs’ 2–0 home defeat to Crystal Palace in the Premier League. The Swedish international's early substitution raised concerns just 10 days before Tottenham's highly anticipated Europa League final against Manchester United in Dublin on 21 May.

Despite the initial fears, Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou offered a reassuring update post-match, confirming that the injury appeared to be minor.

“The medical team are not too concerned with him, more of a knock than anything else, so we’re hoping he should be OK,” Postecoglou told reporters (PA via Independent).

Update Thursday 8 January 2026

🎙️|Thomas Frank: "We know it is a complicated injury. If there is one person who can accelerate that [recovery], it is Dejan. The most important thing is to remove the pain in the knee. He had an injection to help that ten days ago. We will know in 3-4 weeks if that has settled. And when it has settled, hopefully, he will be on the grass and from there, we will see what is happening.¨(Source: Tottenham Hotspur).
