Milestone moment for Kulusevski
Dejan Kulusevski is set to be included in Tottenham's matchday squad for the first time in 526 days when the team hosts Coventry on Monday. The 26-year-old has been sidelined since suffering a patella injury at the end of the 2024-25 season, missing the Europa League triumph that year along with the entire following campaign and this summer's World Cup. A second procedure in March addressed the ongoing issue, and recent fitness improvements have cleared the way for his potential involvement.
Multiple absences complicate selection
Sávio reported a muscular problem on Tuesday and will miss several weeks, while Lucas Bergvall faces two weeks out after a knee issue that surfaced at the start of a match in Manchester. Tottenham will also be without seven players overall for the Coventry fixture, including a suspended Rodrigo Bentancur, as the club seeks to end a six-match winless start to the new Premier League campaign.
Further updates from the squad
Right-back Pedro Porro could return for the trip to Chelsea next Saturday. Richarlison stays unavailable after being left out of the 25-man Premier League squad, though he scored for the club's Under-21s in a Jersey Mike's Trophy match at Cheltenham earlier in the week.
