TOTTENHAM’S injury crisis has gone from bad to worse as star forward Dejan Kulusevski has suffered a foot injury.
Spurs’ 2024-25 campaign has been marred by injuries, with key players including James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, Radu Dragusin, and Micky van de Ven suffering extended absences.
Sweden international Kulusevski is the latest among the wounded. He has been a fixture in Ange Postecoglou‘s side this season, contributing seven goals and four assists in 27 league appearances.
The Daily Mail report he is undergoing tests as Tottenham look to confirm the full extent of the injury.
It is not yet clear how the injury was sustained, though he will likely miss Thursday’s trip to face AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League knockout stage.
He will also be a doubt as Spurs host Bournemouth on Sunday in a crunch Premier League tie as Spurs look to climb back into the top half of the table.
Spurs may also ask him to skip Sweden‘s matches against Luxembourg and Northern Ireland in the March international break so as to continue his recovery in London.
This injury is the first of Kulusevski’s season and only the second he has suffered since signing for Tottenham.
The last came in September 2022 when he missed 10 matches with a thigh problem.

A run of one win in 11 matches between December and January saw Spurs plunge to 15th in the table.
He has now recovered slightly to 13th, Postecoglou has been quick to deflect blame.
“Its just injuries,” he said in late January.
“I think the squad we have got together now, they are an exciting squad.
“When they are all fit the club will benefit, not just this year but for many years to come.”
