There was private optimism last October that Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dejan Kulusevski could be back from injury by the end of 2025, according to The Athletic. However, it has taken more time than anyone at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club expected last May for the Spurs star to be ready given the complexity of the injury. Kulusevski injured his right patella with two league games left in 2024-25, with a collision with Marc Guehi during a league game against Crystal Palace proving catastrophic.
The Sweden international had set specific targets he was focusing on as he eyed a swift return for Tottenham. However, they kept being pushed back further and further into the future, which has prompted him to change his thoughts. Instead of thinking directly about specific targets for his return, Kulusevski is now taking things one day at a time, working hard everyday to ensure he is ready to hit the ground running once he is fully fit. He has yet to play for manager Thomas Frank and the Spurs boss could do with his creativity as the season starts to take shape.
It remains to be seen whether the 25-year-old will return for Tottenham before the end of the season, but Sweden are hoping to have him available for their World Cup qualification play-offs next month. They play Ukraine on March 26, and will play either Poland or Albania on March 31 if they win. Kulusevski has not yet been ruled out, and Spurs will be praying he returns very soon as they look to secure European football for next season.
