Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi says Dejan Kulusevski’s return from a serious knee injury could provide a major boost for the club. Multiple reports say Kulusevski has been sidelined for a long period and has not played for Tottenham since May 2025.
According to the outlets, Kulusevski is now nearing a comeback after returning to full training this week. One report describes De Zerbi’s expectation that the winger could have an impact similar to a new signing, pointing to Tottenham’s struggles. The other emphasizes that his return is long-awaited and may help address the team’s current problems. Both accounts focus on his availability progressing from recovery to full training, while noting Tottenham’s lack of him throughout the previous season.
The differing angles lie mainly in framing: one uses the “new signing” comparison to underline the potential immediate effect, while the other stresses the timing and long absence, presenting the return as a needed lift for a troubled squad.
