Dejan Kulusevski may miss two weeks of action for Tottenham Hotspur having suffered a hamstring injury on international duty with Sweden.

Tottenham fell flat on their return from the international break having been beaten 3-1 away at North London rivals Arsenal.

Antonio Conte can point to Emerson Royal’s red card as a reason for Tottenham’s defeat as much as he wants, but Spurs were poor before that.

Tottenham’s final ball was truly terrible and it felt like Spurs were really missing the composure and unselfishness of Kulusevski in the final third.

Dejan Kulusevski may miss two weeks

Kulusevski was ruled out of this game having returned from international duty with an injury.

Kulusevski played in two games for Sweden, starting against both Serbia and Slovenia whilst missing just six minutes across the two games.

Tottenham may wish Kulusevski wasn’t given such a big workload now given that Kulusevski returned with a hamstring problem.

Saturday’s game simply came too soon for Kulusevski and it seems that he will now miss more games for Tottenham.

The Daily Mail now claim that Kulusevski is expected to be missing for ‘at least two weeks’ as he nurses this hamstring issue.

Tottenham face Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday so Kulusevski will almost certainly be out for that one.

Brighton and Hove Albion, Frankfurt again and Everton are Tottenham’s next three after Tuesday, and Kulusevski is expected to miss all of them.

There would even be questions over whether Kulusevski could make the trip to Manchester United on October 19th, or the home game against Newcastle United on the 23rd of October.

Tottenham will hope that rest can help Kulusevski but this is an enormous blow for Spurs.

Nobody in Tottenham’s attack quite has the guile that Kulusevski possesses and Antonio Conte will certainly feel his absence.

Hailed as a ‘beautiful’ player by Owen Hargreaves, Kulusevski has earned huge praise since joining Tottenham and fans likely can’t wait for him to return – especially after Saturday’s defeat.
