Tottenham: Dejan Kulusevski fails audition as Ange Postecoglou left needing swift turnaround for decisive tie
Dejan Kulusevski’s appearance against West Ham acted as somewhat of an audition for Thursday, and it was an opportunity he failed to capitalise on.
With Tottenham awaiting the full prognosis on James Maddison’s knee injury, which Ange Postecoglou says his medical team are not optimistic about, Kulusevski is likely to be one of the few men involved in Sunday’s 1-1 draw at the London Stadium to stay in the team for the Europa League semi-final second leg against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday.
In six appearances since his return — some of them cameos, granted — the Swede has looked short of the dynamic playmaker he was for much of the early months of the season and almost all of last term.
