Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dejan Kulusevski will miss the upcoming Europa League final against Manchester United due to knee surgery, the club confirmed on May 14, 2025. Kulusevski sustained the injury during Spurs' 2-0 Premier League defeat to Crystal Palace on Sunday, forcing him off the pitch in the 19th minute. Manager Ange Postecoglou had expressed concern over the midfielder's condition, noting that Kulusevski was still experiencing pain 24 hours after the match.
The 25-year-old Swede had been in impressive form for much of the season, making his absence a significant blow to Tottenham's midfield options. With James Maddison also sidelined due to a knee injury and Lucas Bergvall out for the remainder of the season with an ankle issue, Postecoglou's remaining midfield options include Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma, Pape Sarr, and Archie Gray.
Kulusevski's injury adds to Tottenham's growing list of absentees as they prepare for the Europa League final against Manchester United in Bilbao on May 21. The club will be hoping that their remaining midfielders can step up to fill the void left by Kulusevski and other key players.
