Dejan Kulusevski is back in Tottenham training but will not be included in the squad to take on Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday night.
Tottenham return to Champions League action tomorrow night as they host Frankfurt in their fourth group stage game.
Last week’s 0-0 draw with Frankfurt in Germany means a win would be ideal for Antonio Conte’s men this week.
Tottenham’s attack isn’t exactly clicking right now but Conte is set for a boost with Dejan Kulusevski on his way back.
Dejan Kulusevski is back in Tottenham training
Kulusevski returned from international duty with a hamstring injury having featured in two Sweden games.
That meant Kulusevski was ruled out against Arsenal, Frankfurt and Brighton and Hove Albion.
Tottenham managed just two goals in those three games and one of them came from the penalty spot.
Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and Richarlison are all incredibly talented but they are still learning to play together.
Tottenham seem to lack guile when Kulusevski isn’t on the pitch and fans have been desperate to see him back.
Hopes were raised earlier today when Sky Sports showed a video of Kulusevski back in Tottenham training at Hotspur Way.
However, with the game against Frankfurt just over 24 hours away, it looks like Kulusevski won’t quite make it.
Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has now told Football London that Kulusevski only played a ‘little part’ in training today, with this seemingly his first session back since his injury.
Conte claims Kulusevski will not be part of the Tottenham squad on Wednesday, seemingly indicating that he won’t even be named on the bench.
Tottenham fans will just have to wait a little longer to see Kulusevski in action again, with a spot on the bench against Everton in the Premier League this weekend potentially more realistic.
