Dejan Kulusevski has undergone knee surgery and is expected to be ruled out of Tottenham Hotspur’s UEFA Europa League final against Manchester United, his club confirmed on Wednesday.
But Tottenham confirmed that the 25-year-old required an operation to his right patella – his kneecap – which took place on Wednesday.
“Following further specialist consultation, the midfielder has undergone surgery today and will commence his rehabilitation with our medical staff immediately.”
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou had previously intimated the injury was “more of a knock”.
“[He] should be okay, just talking to him after,” said Postecoglou. “[The] medical team [are] not too concerned with him, more of a knock than anything else.”
Kulusevski has been a mainstay of Tottenham’s current campaign, having made 50 appearances in all competitions.
Only Son Heung-min and Richarlison have scored more than the Swede’s eight goals at the club this term.
