Player Watch Player Watch: Dejan Kulusevski

[cjbyid]

Ohhhh yes.

 

[whitestreak]

Could use him and Rich against pool...

 

[HildoSpur]

Oh thank god. Welcome back you beautiful ginger man from Sweden.

 

[spurs mental]

Gimme Gimme Gimme a ginger from Sweden

 

[Erm33]

Best news we could have. Even if only from the bench if/when required.

 

[Hoddlegenius]

Great news!

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

If he’s fit, he should start. We need him badly.

I agree we need him badly but he's not going to be anywhere near match fit. He's only had a half a training session with the group according to Conte.

I reckon we'll get 30 mins from him at most.

 

[mil1lion]

Wonder if he will start having been out a while. We're so short up top might need him up top in a 352 given our options.

he had half training today , who knows what was before or indeed tomorrow

 

[Timberwolf]

Consider we didn't play him a few weeks ago when he'd been training as there was apparently a 5% risk, I highly doubt he starts on the weekend.

Surely a late cameo off the bench is the best we can hope for.

This would be in the best long-term interests of the club, imo.

We are likely to play very conservatively and Kulusevski is not going to make a difference in the first 60 minutes. It better to keep it close and bring him on for the final 30, and build fitness ahead of the next two winnable games.

Ask too much of him too soon, and we could miss out on the next two games.

But the world class Lucas is available

 

[FuturistiC123]

But the world class Lucas is available

Yep, the guy who has had a serious injury, but returned early, played through pain, and will do so again if asked.

Romero, Romero, wherefore art thou Romero?

 

[iddebu52]

But the world class Lucas is available

What's your point here? When Lucas was pushing us over the line on Amsterdam no one single poster protested against 'the world class Lucas'! I take it you didn't! He is made to play thru pain for the cause of the squad!

 

[TOLBINY]

It could be that he takes time to regain his form after coming back from injury or it could be that he hits the ground running and him and Kane up front clicks into an unforeseen sensational partnership. Let's hope it's the latter.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Conte has already said he’ll be on the bench (for those wondering)

 

[Chinaspur]

Wow - I was worried that I was building him up too much in his absence, but he comes straight back and immediately shows us what we’ve been missing. 10 mins more of him today and we would have scored again.

 

[delawarespur]

Yeah the quality we missed the past month is obvious. And this without being full strength athletically. So so important and changed everything when he came on.

 

[cjbyid]

He's class.

Just offers sooo much to the team. Delighted he's back even if we only have two games left. Really missed him.

 

[Tucker]

God we’ve missed him haven’t we. Stupid international games.
