Kulusevski back on ball in training boost for Spurs

After 450 days out, Dejan Kulusevski has been spotted working with a ball again.

What happened. Tottenham released footage of Dejan Kulusevski training with a ball for the first time in over a year, though he is not yet with the first team.

• Kulusevski has been out for 450 days since injury vs Crystal Palace.
• He had two operations and missed the World Cup and preseason tour.
• Manager De Zerbi wants to avoid pressure and set no comeback targets.

“Kulusevski, fit and right, is one of the best players we have in the squad.”

— Roberto De Zerbi

Kulusevski remains some way from a return, but his progress lifts Spurs ahead of the new season.
