Summary

Dejan Kulusevski will miss Tottenham’s Europa League final against Manchester United in Bilbao next Wednesday following a knee surgery. The 25-year-old attacker was substituted during their Premier League loss to Crystal Palace earlier this month, but concerns about his fitness remain. Despite showing signs of recovery in recent matches, his absence will significantly impact the team given his key role and the manager’s reliance on other midfield options like Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma.
