Tottenham midfielder Dejan Kulusevski has set an ambitious goal to return for Sweden at this summer’s World Cup following a year-long absence and multiple knee procedures.
Dejan Kulusevski is eyeing a miracle comeback for Sweden’s World Cup campaign after undergoing a second knee surgery in February.
The 25-year-old hasn’t featured for Tottenham this season but remains defiant about his recovery.
“If there is one person on the planet who can do this, I would bet on myself,” he told Viaplay, emphasizing his desire to lead his nation this summer.
The midfielder’s return would boost a struggling Spurs side now fighting relegation under Roberto De Zerbi.
While his recovery remains “slow and surely,” Kulusevski is finding hope after his latest operation. “It’s only God who decides and no one else,” he remarked regarding his fitness.
Whether he features in Tottenham’s final seven matches remains uncertain as he prioritizes reaching the United States.
