Tottenham given Dejan Kulusevski fitness update ahead of Sweden comeback

Sweden manager Potter will coordinate closely with Tottenham on Kulusevski's recovery management as the winger prepares for his international return.

Sweden manager Graham Potter has pledged to work in close dialogue with Tottenham regarding Dejan Kulusevski's ongoing recovery from a kneecap injury that has sidelined him for 526 days.

Kulusevski finally returned to action last month with a substitute appearance against Coventry City and has now been called up to Sweden's squad for the first time since his injury. Potter, who took charge of Sweden in October 2025, is aware of the need to carefully manage the winger's fitness as he rebuilds.

The 26-year-old required two separate surgeries on his patella after sustaining the injury at the end of the 2025 season, with a second operation needed in March 2026 following complications. He has played just 42 minutes across four games for Spurs as the club manages his return. Sweden face Bosnia & Herzegovina on Saturday, November 14, and Poland on Tuesday, November 17, in Nations League fixtures.
