Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven has paid a touching tribute to Dejan Kulusevski after the Swedish star finally returned to competitive football following a lengthy injury layoff.
Kulusevski made his long-awaited comeback during Tottenham’s 3-1 victory over Coventry City, bringing an end to a difficult recovery period of around 15 to 16 months.
🗣️ VAN DE VEN PRAISES KULUSEVSKI’S INCREDIBLE FIGHT! ❤️👏
Speaking in comments shared by journalist Chris Cowlin, Van de Ven praised Kulusevski for his resilience, dedication and determination throughout his rehabilitation.
The Dutch defender admitted that seeing his teammate back on the pitch was an emotional moment, especially after witnessing the difficulties he had faced during his lengthy absence.
Van de Ven revealed that Kulusevski never stopped believing he would return, continuing to work tirelessly despite the challenges and setbacks along the way.
He also expressed the squad’s happiness at seeing the Swedish international back in action, insisting that his teammate deserved all the praise coming his way.
⚪🔥 KULUSEVSKI’S RETURN COULD BE A HUGE BOOST FOR SPURS!
The midfielder’s comeback is welcome news for Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi, who now has another important attacking option available as the club looks to build momentum.
His absence had deprived Spurs of an influential player for more than a year, making his return a significant moment for both the squad and the supporters.
The warm reception he received against Coventry showed just how much Tottenham fans had missed seeing him on the pitch.
With both Kulusevski and James Maddison returning to competitive action, Spurs will hope their availability can strengthen the team in the weeks ahead.
Van de Ven’s message also highlights the respect Kulusevski commands among his teammates. After such a difficult journey, Tottenham supporters will be hoping he can regain his best form and make a major impact for the club once again.
❤️ AFTER 15 MONTHS OF PAIN AND HARD WORK, KULUSEVSKI IS FINALLY BACK! SPURS FANS WILL HOPE THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW CHAPTER. ⚪🔥
