Tottenham suffered an injury scare just days before their Europa League final as Dejan Kulusevski was forced off early in their clash with Crystal Palace.
The Swedish winger had played in Spurs’ Europa League semi-final second leg against Bodo/Glimt but was included again for Sunday’s league fixture. His involvement ended prematurely after a collision with Marc Guehi, raising immediate concern from the bench.
Kulusevski’s exit after just 20 minutes added to mounting injury worries for Tottenham, who are already without key playmaker James Maddison for the rest of the season. With their final against Manchester United just ten days away, the timing could not be worse.
Despite the setback and a disappointing 2-0 loss at home to Palace, manager Ange Postecoglou offered a reassuring update post-match. He downplayed the severity of the injury and hinted that Kulusevski’s condition may not be as serious as initially feared.
Spurs now face an anxious wait as they assess Kulusevski’s fitness, hoping he can recover in time to feature in their crucial European final.
