Dejan Kulusevski
Dejan Kulusevski has scored six goals in 29 appearances for Tottenham since joining on an 18-month loan from Juventus in January

Dejan Kulusevski may not play for Spurs again until after the World Cup.

Kulusevski has suffered a problem in his recovery.

We have to wait a bit to see him.

His recovery was going well and then one day the situation got worse.

You have to restart when this happens. You need time, but we have the medical department to face injury situations and they have to solve the situation in a short period because you know if you are good to solve the situation in a short period, it means points in the table.

Kulusevski and Sweden lost to Poland in the play-off for a place at the World Cup.

He joked that he might come out of retirement to help the squad if Harry Kane and Son Heung-min get injured.

Kane and Son are the main beneficiaries of Richarlison's absence, as well as Lucas and Bryan Gil, who have never played in the top flight.

He said that the situation creates a big problem. At the moment, we have Harry and Sonny in good shape. I hope they don't change, or I'll have to put my shoes on.
