Fans noticed Dejan Kulusevski posted a photo on Instagram of himself wearing a moon boot while holding his kid, and now everyone is worried.

How Important Kulusevski Has Been This Season
Kulusevski from Sweden has been a really important player for Spurs this season. He’s played in 42 games and scored 10 goals and made 10 assists with Ange Postecoglou as manager. Even though the team hasn’t been doing great all the time, Kulusevski has been someone they can count on, so if he can’t play, it’s a big problem for the club.
Games He’ll Probably Miss
The moon boot probably means he has a foot injury, so Kulusevski will probably miss at least two important games: the Europa League game against AZ Alkmaar and the Premier League game against Bournemouth. Worried fans started posting messages on his social media, so he turned off the comments and stopped people from interacting with his recent posts. The photo was the first hint that something was wrong, and it surprised a lot of people.
Injuries Keep Piling Up for Spurs
Tottenham hasn’t said anything official about Kulusevski’s injury yet, but he’s getting scans to figure out how bad it is. This is just another problem in Spurs’ ongoing injury situation. Other important players like Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Dominic Solanke, Richarlison, Radu Dragusin, and Ben Davies are already out.
No one on Spurs has played in more games than Kulusevski this season, and his absence is a big setback. He’s been consistent when the team has not.
Who Might Replace Him and How the Team Could Change
Since it looks like Kulusevski won’t be able to play, James Maddison will probably play as either the No. 8 or No. 10 to help make up for his creative plays. But Postecoglou has some good news too: Romero, Van de Ven, and Solanke are coming back, which will give the team some help with a busy schedule ahead.
Important Time for Spurs
Tottenham has a lot of games coming up in the next few weeks, starting with the Europa League game against AZ Alkmaar on Friday morning (AEDT). Then they play Bournemouth in the Premier League on Monday.
Just a few days after that, they have the second leg against AZ Alkmaar on March 14, followed by another league game against Fulham three days later. Spurs are currently in 13th place, so these games are really important for their chances in Europe. Spurs Hit with Fresh Injury Concern.
