Swedish national team doctor Jonas Werner said he is hopeful that Dejan Kulusevski will play football again despite his long injury period. It was noted that the 26-year-old player, who plays for Tottenham and the Swedish National Team, has been away from the fields for about a year due to an injury around the kneecap. It was stated that Kulusevski was removed from the 2025 World Cup squad, which indicates that the rehabilitation process has taken longer than planned. Werner conveyed that the player continues his treatment process with the support team around the club and is making efforts to return. The doctor emphasized that injuries around the kneecap are challenging for footballers and that such problems may not heal as quickly as ordinary muscle or bone injuries. Whether Kulusevski will return to the fields next season depends on how the process progresses.
