Тоттенхэм Хотспур Ковентри Ситиг 3-1-ийн харьцаатай хожсон тоглолтод Деян Кулусевски сэлгээнээс талбайд гарч, удаан хугацааны бэртлээ бүрэн эдгээснээ харууллаа.
Даваа гарагт болсон тоглолтын хоёрдугаар хагасын төгсгөлд Деян Кулусевски сэлгээнээс гарч ирснээр 526 хоног үргэлжилсэн бэртлийн хугацаа нь албан ёсоор өндөрлөв. Тэрээр 2025 оны тавдугаар сард Кристал Пэласийн эсрэг тоглолтод өвдөгний бэртэл авснаасаа хойш талбайд гараагүй байсан бөгөөд энэ хугацаанд багийнхаа олон чухал тоглолтыг өнжсөн юм.
Энэхүү тоглолтын нэгдүгээр хагаст Жэймс Мэддисон 2025 оны тавдугаар сараас хойш анх удаа гарааны бүрэлдэхүүнд багтаж гоол оруулсан бол Бен Дэвис мөн гоолдож багтаа ялалт авчирлаа. Тоглолтын сүүлийн 11 минутад талбайд гарсан Кулусевскигийн тоглолт фанатуудын хувьд эерэг хүлээлт үүсгэж, түүнийг багийн дутуу байсан хэсэг гэж үзэж байна.
Шведийн шигшээ багийн тоглогч ийнхүү талбайд эргэн ирсэн нь бямба гарагт болох Челсигийн эсрэг тоглолтын өмнө Тоттенхэм Хотспурт чухал нэмэр болохоор байна. Түүний талбай дээр харуулсан эрч хүчтэй тоглолт нь ойрын тоглолтуудад гарааны бүрэлдэхүүнд багтах боломжтойг харууллаа.

Tottenham Hotspur fans have spoken out after Dejan Kulusevski finally returned from his 526-day injury during the 3-1 win over Coventry City.
After a turbulent period in which Tottenham Hotspur have had three different head coaches and made 20 different signings, star forward Kulusevski made his long-awaited return on Monday night.
Following a first-half that saw James Maddison score on his first start since May 2025, Kulusevski came off the bench late in the second half to make his first appearance in 526 days, and it’s safe to say fans were impressed.
Dejan Kulusevski verdict reached after first Spurs appearance in 526 days
Back in May 2025, Kulusevski picked up a knee injury against Crystal Palace that ruled him out of the Europa League final victory over Manchester United, which he was forced to watch from the sidelines on crutches.
Unfortunately, the Swedish international ended up missing the entirety of the 2026/27 season, with many fans feeling that his absence from the squad contributed to their dismal campaign in which the narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League on the final day.
But in the final minutes of Spurs’ victory over Conventry City on Monday night, Kulusevski’s nightmare finally ended, and fans were delighted to see him back.
“I just gave Dejan Kulusevski a standing ovation in my living room,” one fan wrote after the match.
Another claimed: “Kulusevski coming on is the happiest i’ve been watching spurs since the europa league final.”
While one added: “Kulusevski was the missing piece for spurs and he is back.”
With another excited fan writing: “Kulusevski running down the wing, Maddison and Ben Davies on the scoresheet. We’ve got our Tottenham back.”
To put in perspective how long it’s been since Kulusevski was last seen playing for Spurs, at the time Paris Saint-Germain had never won the Champions League, Son Heung-min was still Spurs captain and Ange Postecoglou was their manager.
Since then, Spurs have won just four games at home in the Premier League, including the win over Coventry.
Kulusevski’s return comes at the perfect time as they face London rivals Chelsea in their next match on Saturday night.
Given how sharp he looked during his 11 minute spell against Coventry, it’s possible that we may finally see the Swede starting for Spurs once again this weekend.
