Concerns have become a reality. Tottenham lost Dejan Kulusevski after Lucas Beribal and James Maddison.

There was also a red flag on the Europa League winning front. Kulusevski is on the operating table with a knee injury. He will miss the Europa League final of the 2024-2025 season at 4 a.m. on the 22nd (Korean time) at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, Spain.

Tottenham released the news of Kulusevski's surgery on the 14th. The club said Kulusevski suffered a right patella injury in the Premier League match against Crystal Palace last weekend. After further expert consultation, Kulusevski underwent surgery today. He said he would immediately begin rehabilitation with medical staff.




Tottenham released a photo of Kulusevski, who completed the surgery safely on the 15th, lying on a hospital bed and smiling brightly. But it was 'tear of chagrin'.

Kulusevski collapsed in the 36th round of the English Premier League (EPL) against Palace on the 11th. 'Captain' It was the same game Son Heung-min came back from injury after a month.

He complained of knee pain after colliding with Mark Gehi in the 19th minute of the first half and limped off the ground. Kulusevski has grown into Tottenham's star player this season.

He scored seven goals and four assists in 32 matches in the EPL. In 11 Europa League matches, he scored one goal and three assists. England's coach Enze Postecoglou said he lost three of the most creative midfielders in his team, Veribal, Madison and Kulusevski.

Beribal was likely to start in the first leg of the Europa League semifinals against Bowdo/Glimt (Norway) on the 2nd. But he was excluded from the entry. I hurt my ankle in training the day before the game.

Madison was out of power after injuring his knee in the game. He is expected to take three months to return. To make matters worse, even Kulusevski was ruled 'Season Out'




Postecoglou appeared to be a simple bruise after the Palace match. He'll be fine. The medical staff are not paying too much attention to him. We're expecting him to be okay.' But the reality was different.

Tottenham is aiming to win its first championship in 17 years since the 2007-2008 League Cup. In the case of the European competition, he is dreaming of becoming the top in 41 years after winning the UEFA Cup, the predecessor of the Europa League in the 1983-1984 season.

However, the catastrophic injury demons that have been holding me back all season are repeating. The Sun 'Tottenham suffered injuries throughout the season, and the list of absentees reached double digits for five weeks during the winter. In the end, it seriously affected the league's performance, resulting in a black history of losing 20 games. "Whether he wins the Europa League or not, Postecoglou's position is in jeopardy," he said.

The only comfort is Son's return. Son Heung-min has been out of the team due to injury since his last appearance in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals against Frankfurt on the 11th of last month. He missed seven matches, including four in the EPL and three in the Europa League. He started playing again as a substitute against Palace.

The Sun ' is 'Tottenham was bolstered by Son Heung-min's return on Sunday. He expected to be the only player to start in the 2019 European Champions League final.

With Kulusevski's departure, Son Heung-min's role has grown.
