Tottenham have Dejan Kulusevski concern as new image emerges from Hotspur Way
Tottenham could potentially be worried about Dejan Kulusevski after images from Hotspur Way on Monday morning.
Spurs are coming off a 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace at home on Sunday (11 May), and now sit 17th in the Premier League.
Kulusevski started against Oliver Glasner’s team, but was substituted at around the 20th minute mark after picking up a knock.
Ange Postecoglou will have his eye on the Europa League final, but they may be concerned about the 25-year-old Swedish forward’s availability.
Kulusevski missing from Tottenham training after Palace defeat
Kulusevski is missing from Spurs’ training the morning after being beaten by Palace, Alasdair Gold shared.
The football.london journalist revealed on X (12 May) that the former Juventus star isn’t part of the North London outfit’s group at Hotspur Way.

| Premier League | 32 | 7 | 4 |
Players who started the game against the Eagles were part of one group, while the others were in another.
The images coming out will undoubtedly worry fans as the Lilywhites face Manchester United in Bilbao on 21 May.
Postecoglou waiting on Kulusevski fitness at Spurs
Postecoglou has heavily relied on Kulusevski this season, with the Sweden international’s versatility coming in handy.
While the Australian manager admitted that the 25-year-old’s fitness issue after being substituted against Palace wasn’t concerning, the images out of Hotspur Way won’t encourage fans.
The former Juventus star has been one of the best players at the North London outfit this season, and they would be struggling even more without him.
Tottenham are in the Europa League final and have the opportunity to end their trophy drought against Man United.
The Red Devils have also been underwhelming in the Premier League this season, and the Lilywhites’ supporters will be confident going into the game.
Kulusevski’s potential absence from the fixture would leave fans nervous, though, but it remains to be seen whether his absence from training was just precautionary.
Spurs will face Aston Villa in the Premier League on 16 May, and it would make sense for Postecoglou to rest the 25-year-old with nothing much to play for domestically.
