A season stalled by injury
The 2025 season took an unexpected turn for Dejan Kulusevski when a complicated patella injury struck his right knee in May, casting doubt over his availability for the upcoming campaign.
Under the knife, the Swedish international underwent surgery followed by a meticulous clean‑up procedure, beginning a grueling rehabilitation that has now stretched beyond a year.
A candid reflection
In a candid Instagram post, Kulusevski opened up about the emotional toll of the journey, acknowledging the uncertainty that looms over his future while still clinging to hope.
Manager’s outlook
Tottenham manager Graham Potter, who omitted the midfielder from the World Cup squad, has been closely monitoring the recovery, noting that the player is making steady progress on the pitch.
Looking ahead
Despite the setback, Kulusevski remains focused on the Premier League schedule, targeting a return that could revitalize Tottenham’s midfield and restore his international prospects.
The club’s medical staff continue to work in tandem with the player, ensuring that each milestone is met before a competitive debut is considered.
