GOOD NEWS — Tottenham receive Positive News ahead of Long injured “Fan Favorite hero” who has been sidelined for a very long time

Tottenham Hotspur receive encouraging update on Dejan Kulusevski

Tottenham forward Dejan Kulusevski has not featured at all this season after sustaining a significant knee injury toward the end of the 2024/25 Premier League and Europa League campaign. However, there are finally some promising signs regarding the Sweden international’s recovery.

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s London derby against Fulham, Spurs boss Igor Tudor shared an upbeat message. He explained that both Kulusevski and the club’s medical staff feel “positive” about the player’s progress, although a clearer picture will emerge in about a week’s time.

Tudor has been notably more open with supporters compared to his predecessor, offering clearer and more direct updates on injuries and potential return dates. As a result, fans may soon receive more concrete information about Kulusevski’s condition rather than vague reassurances.

Doctors optimistic over Kulusevski’s recovery

Although Kulusevski experienced some inconsistency last season, his prolonged absence has underlined just how influential he is to Tottenham’s attack. Early in the campaign, the impact of Mohammed Kudus helped ease concerns, but with Kudus also sidelined, attention has increasingly turned to Kulusevski’s anticipated comeback.

There is no denying the seriousness of the knee injury, and his rehabilitation has taken longer than many initially expected. Some supporters had even begun to fear that the former Juventus, Atalanta, and Parma attacker might struggle to return to his previous level.

While the latest update offers encouragement, expectations must remain realistic. Even if the 25-year-old does make his comeback during the 2025/26 campaign — potentially across both domestic and European competitions — it would be unreasonable to expect him to immediately perform at full capacity after such a lengthy layoff.

Still, after months without encouraging news, hearing Tudor describe both the player and medical team as “positive” marks a significant and welcome step forward.

Meanwhile, Spurs supporters continue to await updates on other sidelined players, including Destiny Udogie, Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Kudus, all of whom have been absent for several weeks and could remain out for some time yet.
