Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has confirmed Dejan Kulusevski will miss the Europa League final and is “out for a few months” having undergone knee surgery.
Tottenham revealed on Wednesday that Kulusevski had undergone surgery on an injury to his right patella he sustained in Sunday’s home defeat to Crystal Palace, although the club did not give a timescale on his return.
But Postecoglou said at his pre-match press conference ahead of Friday’s Premier League game at Aston Villa, live on Sky Sports, that the Sweden international will miss next Wednesday’s Europa League final against Manchester United in Bilbao.
He said: “Disappointing news. Initially, we thought it wasn’t too serious. It seemed pretty good but it kind of blew up the day after.
“He has had surgery and it will put him out for a few months.
“We will see [back for next season]. To be honest, I have basic information on recovery. It will put him out for a while.”
