Kulusevski<\/a> has been out of action since suffering a knee injury at the start of May, with the attacking midfielder missing the Europa League<\/a> final as well as the entirety of pre-season under Thomas Frank<\/a>.<\/p>\n It was initially reported that Kulusevski is expected to miss the first month of the Premier League season<\/a>, but we are now hearing that the injury could be a lot worse than initially thought.<\/p>\n Two weeks ago, Physio Scout claimed that Kulusevski\u2019s injury could keep him out of action for a total of eight to 10 months<\/a>.<\/p>\n They suggested that the 25-year-old may have suffered a patella fracture after his knee-to-knee collision with Marc Guehi, and those can take a long time to heal.<\/p>\n This news has now been backed up by The Guardian<\/a>, who reveal that the former Juventus man is now expected to be sidelined until the turn of the year after undergoing surgery earlier this summer.<\/p>\n This comes as a huge blow to the Lilywhites, who currently lack a recognised creative midfielder in their squad.<\/p>\n Spurs hierarchy have failed to deliver Thomas Frank\u2019s request<\/p>\n According to a report from The Times, Thomas Frank has asked Tottenham to sign two number tens this summer<\/a>, not just one.<\/p>\n Now that we have heard about the severity of Kulusevski\u2019s injury, one can understand why the Dane made that request.<\/p>\n However, Tottenham have failed woefully to deliver what the new Spurs head coach<\/a> has asked for, and with not long to go before the window slams shut, Daniel Levy<\/a>, Johan Lange, and co have their work cut out to bring some big-name signings through the door.<\/p>\n Have something to tell us about this article?
