In a crushing blow for Tottenham, star midfielder Dejan Kulusevski has been forced off the pitch due to injury in their recent clash against Crystal Palace.

Injury Woes Mount for Spurs

Kulusevski's injury comes as a significant setback just weeks before the highly anticipated Europa League final against Manchester United scheduled for May 21. The Swedish player suffered a setback after a hard tackle from Palace's captain, Marc Guehi.

A Disheartening Exit

After being treated on the field, Kulusevski attempted to carry on but ultimately trudged off, visibly upset and with his head in his hands. His exit was marked by a brief conversation with manager Ange Postecoglou as he left the pitch for medical attention.

Struggling Midfield Depth

This injury is even more alarming for Spurs, who are already missing key players like James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall due to serious knee and ankle injuries. With little left to play for in their Premier League campaign, fans are divided on the decision to play Kulusevski so soon after his return.

Mixed Reactions from Fans

Fans took to social media to express their frustration and concerns over Kulusevski's early inclusion in the match. Some argued it was a risky choice given his recent lack of fitness, while others felt he needed game time to prepare for the final.

Kulusevski's Recent Struggles

This injury follows a challenging period for Kulusevski, who recently missed six matches with a foot problem. Since returning, he has struggled to find his rhythm, logging no goals and just one assist in his last eight outings. Tottenham is now left to hope for a miraculous recovery as they gear up for their crucial final.
