Dejan Kulusevski has been absent from Tottenham Hotspur’s matchday squad for 526 days, a hiatus that began in 2022. The Swedish winger will return to the squad for the first time since that time.
Kulusevski’s comeback comes ahead of Monday’s Premier League match against Coventry City, where he will be available for selection.
Spurs’ coaching staff have been looking for ways to bolster their attacking options, and Kulusevski’s return offers an experienced option in the forward line.
The winger’s presence will give manager Antonio Conte additional flexibility in squad rotation for the mid‑week fixture.
With the return of Kulusevski, Spurs will be better positioned to face Coventry, and the team will look to secure a positive result in the upcoming clash.
