Dejan Kulusevski
25-Year-Old

Premier
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 3/15/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kulusevski has always been a bit underrated at Tottenham, but even when the team struggled, his versatility in positioning shined through. While his total goal contributions didn't change from the season prior (11), his ability to play deeper in the midfield or on the wing allowed him to start when healthy. A knee injury derailed the back half of his season, resulting in just 27 starts from 32 league appearances. It's unclear if his future under new manager Thomas Frank is centrally or on the wing, as there's plenty of competition in the squad. But wherever Kulusevski plays, he should be a productive attacking threat.
Set for another appointment
Kulusevski (knee) is set for another appointment but appears to be nowhere near the squad, according to Thomas Frank. "Deki's got another appointment at the end of the week, where we will know more, but of course, being out of the Champions League squad is a sign it is not tomorrow. I don't know [if he will return before the end of the season].
ANALYSIS
Kulusevski is still injured and appears to have no hope of a return soon, with the attacker recently not added to the UCL list. He will now meet for another appointment to get another opinion on his injury, hoping to gain a bit more knowledge on his situation. However, a return is still up in the air, potentially not an option at all this campaign.

Gets injection, out another month
Kulusevski (knee) has received another injection and is set to miss at least another month of action, according to manager Thomas Frank. "The latest on Dejan. We know it is a complicated injury. If there is one person who can accelerate that (recovery) it is Dejan, who is a top pro and has a top mentality. The most important thing is to remove the pain in the knee. He had an injection to help that 10 days ago. We will know in 3-4 weeks if that has settled. And when it has settled, hopefully, he will be on the grass and from there, we will see what is happening."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Spurs want to keep him around
Tottenham are not keen on parting ways with Kulusevski, according to GiveMeSport.
ANALYSIS
Tottenham rate the Swedish star extremely highly, and they'd rather sign him to a new deal than see him walk away from the club in the summer. There's no shortage of teams interested in the winger, though, with AC Milan and Napoli keeping close tabs on his availability. It's unclear if Tottenham would be open to listening to offers for the Swedish forward.
