Scores goal against Man City Kulusevski scored a goal and created four chances in Thursday's 4-2 defeat against Manchester City. He also made two clearances and won two of three tackles in the match.
Impact Kulusevski pounced on a bad passing exchange between Ederson and Rodri late in the first half of Thursday's game to slot home his second goal of the campaign, but it ultimately wasn't enough to earn a result against City. Still, he will take heart in finding the net for the first time since since the season opener in August as he's battled through an injury-riddled last couple of months.

Decent in return Kulusevski had three shots (one on target), three crosses (all inaccurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Arsenal.
Impact Kulusevski made his return to the pitch Sunday after missing the last two matches with an injury. He was solid in the game but looked a little rusty, narrowly missing crosses and passes before being subbed off in the 87th minute. Kulusevski has been solid when he plays, notching five assists (tied for a team best) and a goal in just 11 appearances. With him back fit, it would be no surprise if assists came sooner rather than later.

Starting in North London Derby Kulusevski is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Arsenal.
Impact Kulusevski returns from a muscle strain in time to start the North London Derby. The attacker has scored once and provided five assists in 11 appearances for Spurs.

Available against Arsenal Kulusevski (strain) has trained the last few days and is expected to be available for Sunday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Antonio Conte.
Impact Kulusevski could be back in the starting XI Sunday, though he's been out for a couple weeks with the injury, so there's still a chance for Bryan Gil to continue in that role. Even if Kulusevski starts, it's hard to see him going close to a full 90 immediately off a muscle injury.

Out against Palace Kulusevski (strain) is not in the squad for Wednesday's match against Crystal Palace.
Impact It's another absence for Kulusevski, which isn't too surprising given the nature of the injury and a quick turnaround. He'll have more than a week until the next league match, so that extra time should allow him to return to the squad by then.

Late fitness test against Palace Kulusevski (strain) will face a late fitness test ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Crystal Palace. Manager Antonio Conte told reporters, "He's 50-50, we have a day and a half to m...
Impact Since returning from an extended stint on the sidelines due to a hamstring problem, Kulusevski's offensive upside has been on full display. In three matches, the forward has tallied two assists, four shots (two on target) and eight crosses (one accurate). If Kulusevski does start Wednesday, he could offer top-end fantasy value given his ability in the final third.

Out with muscle strain Kulusevski is not in the match day squad to face Aston Villa on Sunday due to a muscle strain.
Impact Kulusevski misses out on Sunday's match after picking up the strain in the build up. Bryan Gil gets the start in Kulusevski's place with the attacker hoping to return in time for Wednesday's match at Crystal Palace.

Maestro in return to XI Kulusevski registered one assist on four crosses (zero accurate), three shots (one on target) and two corners during Saturday's 4-3 win over Leeds United.
Impact Kulusevski's elite playmaking abilities were on full display throughout Saturday's matchup, and he made a strong case for man of the match across 89 minutes of run. At that point, he was relieved by a fresh set of legs in Lucas Moura. Spurs supporters and fantasy managers alike are keen to see the Swedish maestro back orchestrating things for his Tottenham side.

Hopeful to start Kulusevski has some hope to start in Saturday's match against Leeds United, according to manager Antonio Conte. "I hope so. Deki (Kulusevski) had to play two games to get minutes a...
Impact Kulusevski has been able to make an impact off the bench twice over the last week against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, so getting him back in the lineup would be a big boost before the World Cup. As Kulusevski and Sweden aren't going to Qatar, he'll have plenty of time to work on his fitness in the next few weeks after getting a possible kickstart over the weekend.

Makes bench against Liverpool Kulusevski made the bench for Sunday's match against Liverpool.
Impact Kulusevski is back after regular reports on a hamstring injury, which has limited him for the entirety of October through Tuesday's win over Marseille. When fully fit again, Kulusevski should have little issue competing for a starting spot as he logged three assists and scored one goal in his first nine appearances of the season (six starts).

Hopeful to return before World Cup Kulusevski (hamstring) is hopeful to return ahead of the World Cup, according to Dan Kilpatrick of the Evening Standard ahead of Sunday's match against Liverpool.
Impact Kulusevki is unlikely to feature Sunday but then he only has one more chance to play before the break, a Nov. 12 visit from Leeds. He's already missed 10 straight matches over the last month and shouldn't miss many more thanks to the World Cup providing a mid-season pause for those not going to Qatar.

Out against Marseille Kulusevski (hamstring) is out for Tuesday's trip to Marseille, according to assistant manager Cristian Stellini.
Impact Kulusevski isn't ready to return yet in the Champions League as he continues to deal with a hamstring issue. He did do some light runs before Saturday's clash with Bournemouth, but wasn't deemed fit. Kulusevski's next chance to return is a Sunday clash with Liverpool in the Premier League.

Remains out against Bournemouth Kulusevski (hamstring) will miss Saturday's trip to Bournemouth, manager Antonio Conte confirmed.
Impact Kulusevski remains out indefinitely with a hamstring issue that is looking increasingly likely to sideline him until the Winter break. Richarlison (calf) is also out once more, potentially opening the door for another start for Lucas Moura.

No closer to returning Kulusevski (hamstring) won't be an option for Sunday's clash against Newcastle United and possibly longer after manager Antonio Conte told reporters that Kulusevski "is not close t...
Impact Kulusevski should probably be considered out indefinitely at this point as he continues recovering from a hamstring injury he suffered during the September international break. With Richarlison (calf) out as well, Tottenham will likely continue with the 3-5-2 formation they utilized against Manchester United last weekend, or perhaps Lucas Moura is fit enough to start on the right wing in a 3-4-3.

Status uncertain Kulusevski (hamstring) is still considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's match against Manchester United, according to manager Antonio Conte in his prematch press conference. "Ku...
Impact Kulusevki hasn't played in five games and likely won't be fit to start Wednesday even if he makes the traveling squad. A recent injury to Richarlison creates fresh need in the attacking half of Spurs' midfield though Kulusevski shouldn't be rushed back with Son Heung-Min around and Yves Bissouma available to fill out the lineup.
OCTOBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Still out Saturday Kulusevski (hamstring) will miss at least one more match, according to manager Antonio Conte. "At this moment it's a bit difficult to answer yes or no. It depends on the new MRI (s...
Impact It doesn't sound like Kulusevski will return for next week's match unless he can recover quickly in the next few days. He's been out since the international break and while he's been training, he's still not completely over the hamstring issue, meaning more starts for Richarlison or even Yves Bissouma in the midfield.

Out Wednesday Kulusevski (hamstring) will miss Wednesday's match against Eintracht Frankfurt, according to manager Antonio Conte. "I think Deki is almost ready. Yesterday he had an MRI and it wa...
Impact Kulusevski won't be risked Wednesday as he returns from a muscular injury but could be back as soon as the weekend encounter with the Toffees, if what the manager has said comes to pass. He's already missed three matches due to an injury picked up during the international break and while he's out, Richarlison and Son Heung-Min have been key to completing the attacking lineup around Harry Kane.
