Ange Postecoglou delivers Dejan Kulusevski injury update amid major Europa League scare

by · football.london

Tottenham were handed a major injury scare on Sunday ahead of their huge Europa League final with Manchester United in a week and a half.

Already going to be without one of their most creative players in James Maddison, with the England man ruled out for the rest of the season after picking up a knee injury in the first leg of the semi-final with Bodo/Glimt, Spurs could do without losing another player who can slot into that No.10 role.

But that may well be the case after Dejan Kulusevski limped off midway through the first half of the Premier League clash with Crystal Palace with what also looked to be a knee injury.

Tottenham supporters will be hoping the injury to Kulusevski is not serious, with the clash against Manchester United in Bilbao just ten days away.

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou delivered an immediate update on the Swede during his post-match press conference at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

He said: "He should be ok. Just talking to him after. The medical team are not too concerned about him. It was just a knock."

the news will come as a huge relief to Postecoglou, who has suffered with horrendous luck with injuries throughout the entire season.

Spurs lost the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 2-0, with both goals coming from Eberechi Eze. Tottenham managed just one shot on target all game.
