Tottenham Hotspur fans were left concerned after Dejan Kulusevski was forced off injured in the defeat against Crystal Palace.
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou made eight changes to his side to take on Palace with the Australian deciding not to risk a number of his players which featured in the Europa League win against Bodo/Glimt.
Dejan Kulusevski, along with Pedro Porro and Rodrigo Bentancur, who captained the side were the three players asked to go again at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Having already lost James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall to season-ending injuries, Tottenham are desperate not to add to their problems ahead of the Europa League final against Manchester United on May 21st.
The Swedish midfielder was on the receiving end of a hefty challenge on the side of his knee by Palace defender Marc Guehi and received treatment on the pitch.
Kulusevski briefly came back onto the pitch, but soon after went to ground and had to be replaced by Mikey Moore.
Postecoglou consoled the former Juventus player as he headed down the tunnel towards the dressing room with his head in his hands.

How bad is Dejan Kulusevski’s injury against Crystal Palace?
Soon after Tottenham’s 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, Postecoglou was asked for an update on the condition of Kulusevski as part of the post-match press conference and offered a promising update.
Postecoglou played down the prospect of a serious injury for the Swede which will certainly put the minds of Spurs fans at ease, given the lack of creativity in the side.
He told Football.London: “He should be ok. Just talking to him after. The medical team are not too concerned about him. It was just a knock.”
With Tottenham next in action on Friday when they make the trip to Aston Villa, Postecoglou must decide whether he rests Kulusevski to give him more time to recover for the final in Bilbao.
