Dejan Kulusevski has been one of Tottenham’s best players this season and Spurs fans would absolutely hate to lose the Swede to an injury anytime soon.
Fortunately, the attacking midfielder has avoided such on international duty despite a threat coming his way in the game against Estonia yesterday.
FotbollSkanalen note that Estonia’s Karol Mets fouled the Tottenham man, who was left rolling about in pain and reeling from what was a late challenge.
Mets was only shown a yellow card but he apologised to the player after the game, which Sweden won 3-0.
He said, as relayed by FotbollSkanalen: “It was just a normal duel. I slipped a bit and stepped on his ankle. I hope he is fine and that it was nothing serious.”
The Spurs star also seemed to accept the apology after the win.
“There was nothing bad that he wanted to do. I could play on.”
The 24-year-old’s comments would also come as a sigh of relief for his club’s fans.
Kulusevski might have only one goal and an assist in the Premier League so far, but he has been in the thick of creating things in the attacking midfield role.
Spurs’ major issue has been converting chances and Kulusevski’s performances would gain more limelight, if that problem was sorted.
As it stands, he can continue to do his job at the weekend against West Ham.
