Dejan Kulusevski Injuries

'He should be OK, [I was] just talking to him. The medical team are not too concerned, more of a [knee] knock than anything else, so we're hoping he should be OK.' 'He's still sore with his knee. It looks like a knock at this stage, but we're going to let it settle for 24 hours, then assess it. The initial thought was that it's more of a knock than anything more significant.' 'We can confirm that Dejan suffered an injury to his right patella... Following further specialist consultation, the midfielder has undergone surgery today, and will commence his rehab with our medical staff immediately.' 'It's obviously disappointing news. Initially, we thought it wasn't too serious... the medical team were worried about how the knee was structurally, but it seemed pretty good. But then it kind of blew up a day after, and so we knew there was an issue there. He's had surgery, and it will put him out at least for a few months.' 'Me putting a timeframe on wouldn't be right because he only had the surgery yesterday. We'll get some more information, and a lot of that just depends on how players progress. It's fair to say months, but how many months I wouldn't speculate at the moment.' 'It's great, I'm ahead of schedule and can start walking now. It's been a few months since I've been on the sidelines. It's early, but we'll see [if I can be back in September].' 'I don't like to put a timeline on it. Put it this way, he's not ready for the first game of the season.' 'Kulusevski is out. It's a longer one. I don't want to put a time frame on it.' 'The status is good. The rehab is going well. I will be on a football pitch in the very, very near future. If everything goes, as it should, as it has so far, I'm very confident that I will be on the pitch in two to three months.' 'He's a key, key player for us. Instead of putting an exact month on [his return]. I just want him back as quick as possible. I know the medical team and Dejan are working very hard on that... It's not tomorrow, hopefully not too far away.' 'Deki is still not on the grass. We're working very hard to get him fit as quickly as possible.' 'When they are ready to be close to joining the squad, then I will provide an update.' 'Yeah, as I said, I will confirm when he's available for the squad. It's part of the recovery. There's a plan for everything.' 'Same as I said before. Both of them, I will be very happy when I can announce, 'now they are part of the squad'. That's where it is.' 'We know it is a complicated injury. If there is one person who can accelerate that [recovery], it is Dejan. The most important thing is to remove the pain in the knee. He had an injection to help ten days ago. We will know in 3-4 weeks if that has settled. And when it has settled, hopefully, he will be on the grass and from there, we will see what is happening.' 'Deki has another appt at the end of this week, then we will know more. Of course, without the UCL squad, it's a sign of that; it's not tomorrow. I don't know [if he will play again this season].' 'He's had really big problems as you know, but he's positive and also the doctors are positive, so we'll see next week how he's going. We hope [he can play this season]. In this moment, we don't know.' 'No [further news], not yet.' 'I'm sorry for him because he was one of my perfect players. He is a very specific player for me, like Kudus, like Romero. I hope for him that he can play in the World Cup because for a player [it] is the best period of their career. I don't know the situation very well.' 'I texted him after [the Villa game]. He told me in the next week, I think, he comes back [to continue his rehab at Hotspur Way]. And I hope he can be available to stay with us in the last game because he is an amazing player.'
