Tottenham Hotspur are concerned that star winger Dejan Kulusevski might miss the Europa League final against Manchester United due to a knee injury.

Kulusevski was substituted after 19 minutes in Sunday's 2-0 Premier League defeat to Crystal Palace.

Spurs coach Ange Postecoglou had previously stated that Kulusevski's knee was "still sore" during the club's UEFA media day on Monday, but reports indicate the Swedish international may not recover in time for the final.

Kulusevski has been a key player for Spurs this season, scoring ten goals, and has been largely fit throughout what has been a turbulent season.

With playmaker James Maddison and midfielder Lucas Bergvall already ruled out for the final, Spurs face a significant challenge to win their first major trophy since winning the League Cup in 2008.

Spurs are 17th in the Premier League, a point and a place behind United. The teams have lost a combined 37 league matches this season in what has been their worst top-flight campaigns since they were relegated more than 50 years ago.
