Dejan Kulusevski huge injury update emerges for Tottenham v Man United
Tottenham will soon face Manchester United in the Europa League final, and a significant injury update regarding Dejan Kulusevski has emerged.
The North London outfit have put all their hopes on the European competition, and they’ll arguably want the Sweden international to feature for them.
Kulusevski was missing from training after losing to Crystal Palace, but the Lilywhites were hopeful it was just a minor knock.
The 25-year-old was once again missing from Hotspur Way as Ange Postecoglou conducted training, and now there’s been a major development that could potentially affect Spurs.
Kulusevski a doubt for Tottenham Europa League final v Man United
Kulusevski could be ruled out for the Europa League final after picking up an injury, according to the Telegraph.
The news outlet reports (14 May) that the Swedish forward is a doubt for the fixture against Man United in Bilbao on 21 May.

Postecoglou could potentially be braced for a massive blow as he initially wasn’t too concerned about the 25-year-old’s fitness issue after being substituted against Palace.
The North London outfit’s fans will hold their breath as they hope the attacker returns to full fitness to help end the 17-year trophy drought in N17.
Postecoglou sweating ahead of Man United final
Postecoglou is without Lucas Bergvall, with the youngster having picked up an injury after becoming a key member of the starting lineup.
James Maddison will also miss the rest of the season at Spurs, leaving the Australian manager with a dearth of creativity in the middle of the park.
The former Celtic boss has had to deal with several fitness issues at the North London outfit this season, which has undoubtedly led to their struggles.
Tottenham are 17th in the Premier League, and Postecoglou will feel they would’ve done much better had key players not picked up injuries.
The Lilywhites have made it to the Europa League final, which may vindicate the Australian manager.
If the North Londoners manage to lift the title in Bilbao, the 59-year-old head coach will go down in history.
Man United have had their own issues in the current campaign under Ruben Amorim, and Postecoglou will be confident of getting he better of them.
The potential loss of Kulusevski will seemingly give the Australian boss a lot to think about before the final.
