Lucas Bergvall delivers positive injury update on ‘hungry machine’ Dejan Kulusevski

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lucas Bergvall has provided an encouraging update regarding teammate Dejan Kulusevski, who has been sidelined for more than 500 days due to a patella injury sustained in May 2025 against Crystal Palace. Speaking to Fotbollskanalen, Bergvall praised the Swedish international as a hungry machine and noted that he is progressing well after recently returning to first-team training.

Kulusevski underwent two knee surgeries during his lengthy rehabilitation and suffered a minor setback in late August before resuming training. Reports indicate he could potentially return to Tottenham's matchday squad after the upcoming international break against Manchester United, though Sweden manager Graham Potter opted against calling him up for national team duty.
