Tottenham fans will be over the moon with what Dejan Kulusevski has just said about his injury status, with the attacking midfielder revealing that he is making solid progress as he aims to return to the pitch as soon as possible.
Thomas Frank and his coaching staff are still waiting to get their first look at the Swede in the training ground, with the 25-year-old having not kicked a ball since the start of May.
It was reported last month that Kulusevski would only miss the first month of the season, but since then, it has become clear that the former Juventus man is not as far along in his rehabilitation as initially thought.
A few days ago, Alasdair Gold revealed that Kulusevski is not expected to return to the pitch until December, but the midfielder has now provided a promising update.
Dejan Kulusevski is delighted with how his recovery is progressing at Tottenham
The Tottenham Hotspur star gave an interview back in Sweden, where he provided a promising update about his expected return date.
Kulusevski admitted that he is delighted with how his knee is progressing and insisted that he is confident of being back on the pitch in two or three months.
When asked about his injury, the Sweden international told Fotbollskanalen: “The status is good. The rehab is going well. Every day I wake up with the same hunger and even more hunger with each passing day.
“The status is very good, and I will be on a football pitch in the very, very near future. If everything goes as it should, as it has so far, I am very confident that I will be on the pitch in two to three months.”
Kulusevski praised for his gesture during the international break
Despite not being able to train or play, Kulusevski joined up with the Swedish squad ahead of their World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Kosovo.
The Tottenham Hotspur man made the trip to show his support for the side, and he has been praised for doing so.
Kulusevski was labelled ‘an incredible leader’ by Sweden winger Ken Sema, while centre-back Hjalmar Ekdal has also showered praise on the Spurs star’s character.
