Tottenham boss Thomas Frank shares latest on Dejan Kulusevski\u2019s recovery<\/p>\n
Dejan Kulusevski has been out since undergoing surgery on his right patella late last season. The Swedish forward has missed the start of Spurs\u2019 campaign and, despite posting images of himself training on a bike, remains some way off a return.<\/p>\n
Speaking ahead of the League Cup tie with Doncaster Rovers, Thomas Frank gave an update on the attacker\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n
\u201cInstead of saying October, November, December, I just want him back as soon as possible,\u201d Frank told the club\u2019s website. \u201cThe medical staff and Dejan are working really hard. It\u2019s not tomorrow, but hopefully not too far away.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked if fans could see Kulusevski back before the year ends, Frank replied: \u201cYes, there\u2019s a good chance.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Spurs manager hailed Kulusevski as a \u201ckey player,\u201d admitting his absence has been felt in the final third.<\/p>\n
Frank also provided wider injury news. Randal Kolo Muani and Ben Davies are nursing minor knocks and will miss the Doncaster match but are expected back soon. Dominic Solanke and youngster Kota Takai, who have been sidelined longer, are close to returning after training with the first team this week.<\/p>\n
Though not yet ready for competitive action, their progress was described as encouraging, and Spurs could soon see a much healthier squad as the autumn schedule intensifies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
