Tottenham suffer new Europa League final blow! Dejan Kulusevski forced off with knee issue in Crystal Palace clash to join James Maddison & Lucas Bergvall on treatment table ahead of Man Utd battle

The Sweden international was withdrawn less than 20 minutes into the Premier League contest at home to Palace on Sunday after seemingly taking a knock to his knee. Spurs will hope the issue is not too serious ahead of their showpiece final with Manchester United later this month.

Tottenham have already lost James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall to injury for the rest of the season and they can't really afford to lose a player of Kulusevski's calibre, either. Spurs are aiming to win their first trophy in 17 years and if the former Juventus man is out injured, that is a massive blow for Ange Postecoglou's team.

Kulusevski, who has played as a winger, an attacking midfielder, a striker, and a central midfielder this season, has scored 10 goals and notched 11 assists for Tottenham in the 2024/25 campaign.

Tottenham face United in the Europa League final on May 21 so they don't have long to get Kulusevski fit and ready for that clash in Bilbao. Indeed, it may not be possible at all.
