Tottenham’s latest update reveals that Dejan Kulusevski will not be in the matchday squad to face Manchester United due to an illness that has affected the team. Ange Postecoglou will now have to adjust his lineup without the valuable Sweden international, who has been a key player this season. As a result, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg returns to the starting XI alongside new signing Timo Werner, while Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero also make their comeback in the defense. With the return of these players, Postecoglou now has more options in the squad, including the potential debut of January arrival Radu Dragusin. Additionally, Ben Davies’ hamstring injury has likely influenced the decision to start Romero on Sunday. In the midfield, it’s possible that Rodrigo Bentancur will have the opportunity to move forward with Oliver Skipp and Hojbjerg.
