Tottenham star turns up at national camp on crutches but keeps injury details secret
Dejan Kulusevski turned up on crutches to greet his international teammates in Sweden’s training camp, and the Tottenham midfielder gave a curious response when asked about his rehabilitation.
Kulusevski was sidelined with an injury just before the Europa League final, which meant that the Swede could play no part in the showpiece event in Bilbao.
While he did show up to celebrate with his teammates after the final whistle, the 25-year-old could not take part in Tottenham Hotspur’s trophy parade in North London two days after the final.
The former Juventus man is now trying to recover in time for the start of the new season and it turns out that the player and the Lilywhites want to keep the full details of his rehabilitation a secret.
Kulusevski surprises teammates by turning up in Sweden camp
Sweden are set to play international friendlies against Hungary and Algeria over the next few days and it turns out that Kulusevski visited their training camp.
This information is being reported by Fotboll Skanalen, who claim that the versatile attacker turned up to the camp in crutches following surgery on his left patella.
Kulusevski’s arrival surprised his teammates, and the media tried to use the opportunity to speak to the Tottenham man about his rehabilitation.
However, curiously he informed them that while he feels good, he is not allowed to give any interviews about his injury situation under orders from Spurs. The outlet claims that the Swedish press officer then intervened before the team doctors arrived to inspect his knee.
Dejan Kulusevski appears guaranteed to stay at Tottenham
While there could be several outgoings from Spurs this summer as the Lilywhites undertake a summer rebuild, Kulusevski is part of the core group that the club will be keen to keep.
Reports indicate that there is likely to be a managerial change at Tottenham this summer, which is why we cannot be certain about the futures of too many of the Spurs players at the moment.
However, no matter which manager comes through the door, one would think that they would find a role for Kulusevski, with the winger’s versatility, mentality and engine making him suitable for most systems.
