Tottenham Hotspur received a significant boost in their training sessions as Dejan Kulusevski showcased his sharpness, edging closer to his return after over 500 days sidelined by a complex knee injury. The 26-year-old Swede, one of Spurs' most influential attackers, has been missed dearly since his injury.

Alasdair Gold, Tottenham correspondent, noted several highlights from the latest training footage, particularly a goal Kulusevski scored from a cross by summer signing Andy Robertson. Gold reported:

"One of those areas of caution has certainly been around Dejan Kulusevski, despite the excitement about potentially seeing the Swede back in action soon after more than 500 days out with his complicated patella injury in his right knee."

In the training video, Kulusevski demonstrated impressive movement and clinical finishing, participating actively in drills and showcasing his ability to contribute effectively in small-sided games. This signals his increasing match readiness under manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Despite his progress, the club remains cautious, ensuring he is fully fit before his competitive return. Kulusevski recently traveled with the squad for their 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford, although he did not make the matchday squad, focusing instead on supporting his teammates.

His return would be a welcome addition for Tottenham, who have faced challenges early in the Premier League season. Kulusevski brings creativity, versatility, and the ability to operate in various attacking roles, making him an invaluable asset as he builds a promising partnership with Robertson, evidenced by their training combinations.
