OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 11/23/2025
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.
No update
Kulusevski (knee) remains sidelined and had no update on a return, per manager Thomas Frank. "It's all good from the guys who played on Sunday. Dominic - steps forward, it's step by step. Cuti is on the pitch, no timeframe, but on the pitch. Destiny is on the pitch as well, so, three steps forward."
ANALYSIS
Kulusevski wasn't mentioned among the injured during Monday's press conference, but still is listed among those on the sideline. The attacking midfielder is working hard to get back on the pitch, but it seems a return before the November international break is in doubt. Kulusevski was labeled a long-term absentee during pre-season.

Working hard to return
Kulusevski (knee) is working hard with the medical staff in the rehabilitation of his injury and there is a good chance that he returns before the end of the year, coach Thomas Frank said in the press conference. "Of course Kulusevski is a top player, I always liked him when I saw him from afar. He is a key player for us, a key player for me. Instead of putting an exact month on it - October, November, December - I just want him back as quickly as possible. The medical guys and Kulusevski are working really hard on that. So, it's not tomorrow, but hopefully not too far away. Yes, there's a good chance for that [return before the end of the year]."
