Tottenham Hotspur star Dejan Kulusevski says he’s well on track to return to the pitch in two to three months.
The Sweden international has been speaking to Viaplay regarding his injury situation and recovery process and Fotbollskanalen have relayed his comments.
Towards the end of last season, Tottenham confirmed the 25-year-old “suffered an injury to his right patella” and underwent surgery, and this had forced him to miss Spurs’ Europa League final win over Manchester United in May.
Recent claims from the UK have reported Kulusevski could be out of action for rest of the calendar year, and the attacking midfielder now provides an update on his recovery and when he’s expected to return to the pitch.
“The status is good. The rehab is going well. Every day I wake up with the same hunger and even more hunger with each passing day. The status is very good, and I will be on a football pitch in the very, very near future,” he said.
“If everything goes as it should, as it has so far, I am very confident that I will be on the pitch in two to three months.”
Although the player insists, he’s ready to return to the pitch in the near future, there is a good chance that Thomas Frank won’t be able to rely upon him at the north London club until the end of this year.
Kulusevski has missed the ongoing international and his latest comments suggest he won’t be available for Sweden manager Jon Dahl Tomasson for the next one.
