Tottenham Hotspur attacker Dejan Kulusevski is currently sidelined after his patella surgery, and he is likely to return to action towards the end of the year.
According to Alasdair Gold from Football London, the Swedish International is still months away from returning. He has been a key player for Tottenham since joining the club, and his absence is certainly being felt.
Tottenham need more cutting edge in the final third, and his return would be a huge boost for them. However, it seems that he will miss half of the season with his injury. It remains to be seen whether he can recover quicker than expected and return to action.
Spurs need their key players back
Tottenham will be hoping to fight for trophies, and they will look to secure a place in the top four of the Premier League as well. They need their best players fit and firing in order for that to happen.
Having the Swedish international back in action will be crucial for them. The player will be itching to get back to action as well.
Can Spurs cope without Dejan Kulusevski?
Kulusevski is not the only attacking player sidelined with an injury right now. Tottenham are without James Maddison as well. The two injuries have really hurt Tottenham creatively, but they have done well to improve the attacking unit with quality signings this summer. It will be interesting to see if they can get through the next few months with the current options at their disposal.
Xavi Simons and Mohammed Kudus are quality players, and they have proven themselves with their respective clubs in the past. It will be interesting to see if they can fill the void left by Maddison and Kulusevski over the next few months.
