Tottenham Hotspur fans are growing anxious over the pace of Dejan Kulusevski’s rehabilitation, with the midfielder’s recovery appearing slower than many had expected.
Dejan Kulusevski has yet to make a return to the training pitches at Hotspur Way as he continues to work his way back to full fitness.
The midfielder injured his knee back in May and has since undergone surgery to his patella, but his return to action is taking longer than many had hoped.
Tottenham have looked to cope without the Swede, who hit double figures for goal involvements last term, with their available players deputising; however, many supporters are still eager to see him back in the fold.
Tottenham fans react to Dejan Kulusevski’s recovery update
Video footage on social media has now surfaced of Kulusevski putting in the hard work at the gym as he looks to get back to full fitness.
Spurs fans, however, are not too pleased with the midfielder’s progress, with many still in shock at how long his recovery is taking and questioning why he has not started using his legs.
One fan said: “IT’S A BIKE DEKI USE YOUR LEGS!!” Another stated: “Not using his legs at all is concerning.” A third supporter joked: “I can see Teddy Mitchell come back to EastEnders before Kulu coming back.”
A fourth fan predicted: “I do not know much about medically related, but he still has not started any leg workouts, which means he is still so far from coming back, atp Maddison will come back before him.”
Fans continued to echo a similar sentiment: “Never see him using his legs lol.” Another added: “This guy is still not doing legs exercise… Think he is still far from starting fr Spurs.”
Sweden are also waiting for Kulusevski’s return
It is not just Tottenham who are desperate for a Dejan Kulusevski return, with Sweden also keen on seeing the attacking midfielder back in action.
The Swedish national team is currently in the race for a World Cup spot with two qualifying games to come, and they need one of their talismans to be available.
Graham Potter is the latest to provide an update on Kulusevski’s injury, stating that the midfielder is putting in the work to make a return next year, with hopes he can be ready for the qualifying games in March.
