Story summary

Dejan Kulusevski, a Swedish footballer at Tottenham Hotspur, faces a minor setback in his rehabilitation after an injury, according to Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham's head coach. The issue prevented him from training with the team before their recent goalless draw against Nottingham Forest on September 5. Despite this small problem, De Zerbi expressed optimism about Kulusevski’s recovery progress and highlighted the high quality of Tottenham's medical staff. Kulusevski did participate in some training sessions earlier in the week but missed out on others towards the end due to his injury concerns. It is uncertain whether he will be fit enough for his first appearance since February 2023, which would mark 17 months without playing for Tottenham.
