Tottenham coach Roberto De Zerbi confirmed that striker Dejan Kulusevski is completely healthy and ready to return to play in the near future. However, he also expressed caution about the exact time Kulusevski can play again. Kulusevski, 26, did not take part in Spurs' pre-season tour of New Zealand and Australia, but has been actively recovering in London over the summer.
In an extensive interview, De Zerbi explained Kulusevski's situation. The striker has not played for Spurs since May 2025. De Zerbi shared: "Kulusevski is ready. He is one of the best players in our squad." He added: "I don't want to put too much pressure on him or hasten his recovery, but I hope he can return as soon as possible."
In addition to updating Kulusevski, coach De Zerbi also mentioned the team's goalkeeper situation. Tottenham is planning to sell former goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after signing Martin Dubravka from Burnley on a free transfer. Both Antonin Kinsky and Dubravka had the opportunity to play under De Zerbi during pre-season, but the coach said he had decided on Kinsky as the number one goalkeeper. "We will start with Kinsky because he deserves this position. He is a player with great potential, maturity and character. I believe in his qualities," said De Zerbi.
Tottenham will have their next match against Spanish club Getafe at their training center next Saturday, as the players are actively preparing for the new season.
What happens next
Kulusevski is expected to return to play in the near future, although coach De Zerbi still remains cautious about the specific time. If he can return soon, Tottenham will have another quality option in the squad, helping them improve their performance this season. Along with that, the team's goalkeeper situation is also receiving attention when Guglielmo Vicario may leave.
