Kulusevski Returns to Spurs Bench as Injury Crisis Deepens

His availability provides a late creative option for Roberto De Zerbi under heavy injury, suspension and fixture pressure.

Overview

  • Dejan Kulusevski was medically cleared and named on Tottenham’s bench for Monday’s Premier League game against Coventry after more than 500 days out with a knee problem.
  • Roberto De Zerbi confirmed winger Savio will be sidelined for 'some weeks' with a muscular issue and midfielder Lucas Bergvall will miss about two weeks with a knee knock.
  • Full-back Pedro Porro remains unavailable but is being targeted for a return for the trip to Chelsea next weekend, which tightens short-term selection choices.
  • Midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur begins a multi-match suspension following his straight red card at Old Trafford, removing a key central option for at least the next few fixtures.
  • Tottenham enter the match still seeking their first Premier League win of the season and sit in the relegation zone, while Coventry arrive on a two-game winning run that raises the stakes for Spurs' home fixture.
