Roberto De Zerbi reveals whether James Maddison will be fit for Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham and has provided an update on Dejan Kulusevski.
Kulusevski announced his return to training a few days ago after spending a year and a half sidelined with a serious knee injury.
Many Spurs fans have become increasingly concerned about whether we will ever see the Swede return to his previous levels again, but there now finally appears to be some light at the end of the tunnel.
However, the 26-year-old’s return to training does not mean we are going to see him back out on the pitch very soon.
Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi reveals Dejan Kulusevski has suffered a small setback
De Zerbi has provided an update on Kulusevski, confirming that he started training with the team at the start of this week.
The Tottenham boss revealed that the Swede did not train over the last two days due to a ‘small problem’ but suggested that it is not anything serious.
The Italian told Football.London: “Kulusevski started with us at the beginning of the week, and then for the last two days, a small, small problem stopped, but I think he’s in a good way. It’s going very well.
“I already said the medical staff is very high level. So I think we can be positive with him. I’m looking forward to having Deki in the squad.
When asked if the small problem would keep Kulusevski out of training for long, De Zerbi said: “No, no. Nothing of importance.”
De Zerbi confirms James Maddison will miss Nottingham Forest clash
De Zerbi revealed on Friday that Savio is available for selection for the Forest clash and confirmed that Maddison had returned to training on Thursday.
However, the Tottenham boss has now suggested that this afternoon’s clash at the City Ground has come too soon for the England international.
When asked if Maddison can feature against Forest, he said: “I think no, because after two days after the problem with Brentford and another two weeks out, it’s not the right moment.”
