AI analysis

Story summary

Kulusevski returned after nearly 18 months due to a patella injury requiring two surgeries. Maddison scored on his first competitive start since an ACL injury, contributing to Spurs' first league win of the season against Coventry. Maddison was substituted at 70 minutes for precautionary reasons, while Kulusevski came on in the 87th minute. Omar Marmoush pulled up with a calf issue during the match but is expected to be fit for Chelsea. Destiny Udogie missed the game due to a knee knock and his fitness status remains uncertain for upcoming matches. Potential return date for Udogie: TBC. Marmoush: October 24 vs Chelsea (A). Wilson Odobert, who also tore his ACL in February, is not expected back until January.
