Tottenham Hotspur received a significant boost as Ange Postecoglou, the manager of their Europa League final opponents, provided a fresh injury update on Dejan Kulusevski. The update from Postecoglou sheds light on the availability of Kulusevski for the highly anticipated final, adding another layer of intrigue to the upcoming clash.
Tottenham’s Optimism for Dejan Kulusevski’s Recovery
Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham’s manager, has provided an injury update on Dejan Kulusevski, offering a glimmer of hope for the Europa League final against Manchester United on May 21. Kulusevski sustained a knee injury during Sunday’s match against Crystal Palace, causing him to miss training the following day. With Lucas Bergvall and James Maddison already sidelined due to injuries, Kulusevski’s potential return is crucial for Spurs in Bilbao.
Postecoglou expressed his optimism, stating, “He was a bit sore this morning with his knee. It looks like a knock at this stage. We are going to let it settle for 24 hours and then assess it but the initial thing is it is more of a knock than anything more significant. Fingers crossed he is OK.” This positive outlook provides a ray of hope for Tottenham’s lineup in the upcoming final.
In addition to Kulusevski’s injury update, Spurs welcomed back captain Heung-min Son, who made a return against Palace after a six-game absence due to a foot injury. Son’s presence on the field is crucial for Tottenham’s upcoming matches, including the Premier League fixture against Aston Villa on Friday. Postecoglou emphasized Son’s importance, stating, “He is good. It was important he got some minutes yesterday, he needed them. More for himself psychologically than anything else.”
As Tottenham navigates through injury concerns and player recoveries, the team is gearing up for a crucial period with the Europa League final on the horizon. With key players like Kulusevski and Son potentially returning to full fitness, Spurs are hopeful for a strong finish to their season.
