I want to put Kulusevski on the list because he is working very well, very hard. He’s a good guy and he’s a different player. Xavi Simons … before March, April, he’s not ready. So I think we need players; this number of players.”“If [Kulusevski] feels good like now [he’ll be in the squad list], he’s improving day by day. It’s great watching him during the season and also because he deserves it because he suffered too much for his career for his age, for his level of human. I’m not speaking of him as a player but as a human. He deserves to stay in the list.”Spurs fans need to be patient with KulusevskiThere is no denying that Kulusevski is one of the most talented players in the Spurs squad and his return could significantly improve the side.However, given how long he has been out for and the severity of his injury, supporters must be expecting him to return to his previous levels immediately.The 26-year-old will need a lot of time to regain confidence in his body and find his rhythm, and like James Maddison, he may pick up some niggles along the way as his body starts readjusting to the workload.READ MORE: Tottenham vs Newcastle referee revealed after controversial 2026 North London DerbyThe post De Zerbi provides a big Dejan Kulusevski update at Tottenham, and Xavi Simons too appeared first on Spurs Web.
