Kulushevski, Tottenham's midfielder, is ruled out of the Europa League final due to a knee injury.
Dejan Kulusevski Out for Europa League Final
Swedish midfielder Dejan Kulusevski of Tottenham Hotspur is out of the Europa League final against Manchester United due to a patellar injury.
The club confirmed Kulusevski underwent surgery on his right knee after sustaining the injury during the match against Crystal Palace over the weekend. Initial assessments deemed the injury less severe, but subsequent examinations revealed the need for surgical intervention.
With Kulusevski's departure, Tottenham faces a challenging situation. The player has contributed significantly to the team, scoring an impressive 10 goals this season, including against Manchester United in both the Premier League and the League Cup. This leaves Tottenham without key players like Kulusevski, James Maddison, and Lucas Bergwijn.
However, they can draw some comfort from the return of captain Son Heung-min, who came on as a substitute during the same match against Palace. Kulusevski will undergo rehabilitation and is expected to be out for several months.
As for his return date, coach Ange Postecoglou is optimistic, but the timeline remains uncertain. The player will likely miss the remainder of the current season, including the Europa League final in Bilbao.
