Story updated
The story in brief
8-second readFormer Sweden international Anders Limpar has issued a stern warning to Tottenham Hotspur regarding Dejan Kulusevski, advising Roberto De Zerbi to delay starting the winger until spring following his 526-day absence.

From the source
Tottenham Hotspur fans celebrated a major emotional victory last week as Dejan Kulusevski returned to competitive action following a grueling 526-day absence due to a complex knee injury suffered in May 2025.
The 26-year-old winger has made two impressive substitute appearances in recent wins over Coventry and Chelsea. However, former Sweden international Anders Limpar has issued a firm warning to Spurs head coach Roberto De Zerbi, insisting the club must not rush the star back into the starting lineup.
“First of all, I have to say, thank God that he is back on the pitch. We all had bad thoughts that he was going to pack it all in and retire.
