Tottenham could enjoy a shock injury return against Manchester United

Tottenham Hotspur forward Dejan Kulusevski is nearing a return to action following a 500-day absence caused by a severe knee injury suffered in May 2025. According to reports, the Swedish international could be included in a Premier League matchday squad soon, with the upcoming fixture against Manchester United tipped as a potential target.

Manager Roberto De Zerbi included Kulusevski in Tottenham's 25-man Premier League squad alongside fellow injured players Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert. If the Manchester United match comes too soon, the attacker is expected to return across the subsequent fixtures against Coventry City, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, or Leeds United.
