An injury expert has made a worrying prediction about Dejan Kulusevski\u2019s Tottenham rehabilitation, suggesting that we might not see the Swede back in action until the end of this calendar year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

James Maddison has already been ruled out for the majority of the upcoming season<\/a> after suffering an ACL injury during Tottenham\u2019s 1-1 draw against Newcastle in South Korea.<\/p>\n

The injury puts Thomas Frank in a difficult situation as reports indicate that the only other number ten in the Tottenham squad, Dejan Kulusevski, is expected to miss the first month of the Premier League season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When pressed on the Swede injury, Frank said a few days ago that Kulusevski is \u201cout for a long time\u201d,<\/a> and a new update has now suggested that it might be a while before we see the former Juventus man on the field again.<\/p>\n

This update comes from Physio Scout, who often provide great analysis on injuries across the Premier League<\/a>, and they have given an update about the Tottenham man, which is not encouraging.<\/p>\n

They claim that Kulusevski<\/a> likely suffered a patella fracture after his knee-to-knee collision with Marc Guehi back in May.<\/p>\n

While the typical recovery time from the injury is around five to eight months after surgery, they say that it can take eight to 10 months if it is a complicated injury.<\/p>\n

Based on the noises coming out of Tottenham Hotspur<\/a>, Physio Scout predicts that Kulusevski may not return until November or December.<\/p>\n

Spurs fans are baffled by Tottenham\u2019s inaction in the transfer market<\/p>\n

Given the injuries to Maddison and Kulusevski, many Spurs fans are baffled that Tottenham have not signed an attacking midfielder<\/a> so far this summer.<\/p>\n

Several Premier League number tens have been linked with moves to Spurs<\/a> over recent weeks, but the Lilywhites do not appear close to finalising a signing at the moment.<\/p>\n

With the new Premier League season now on the horizon, the North London club are running out of time and would need to have a strong finish to the transfer window.<\/p>\n
