Tottenham’s Dejan Kulusevski named in Sweden squad for the first time in two years

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dejan Kulusevski has been named in Graham Potter's Sweden squad for the upcoming November international break. The 26-year-old earns his first international call-up in nearly two years following an 18-month absence caused by a severe right knee patella injury suffered in May 2025. Sweden manager Potter praised Kulusevski's resilience ahead of UEFA Nations League fixtures against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Poland.

Kulusevski recently made his return to competitive action, appearing as a substitute under Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi in matches against Coventry City, Chelsea, and Crystal Palace. The prolonged injury had previously forced the playmaker to miss Tottenham's Europa League triumph over Manchester United and the summer World Cup.
