Antonio Conte has confirmed that Dejan Kulusevski is not available for this Sunday's Premier League match against Newcastle United. A key player for Spurs ever since joining from Juventus at the start of the year, the attacker has been a big miss for the Lilywhites in recent weeks.
Not featuring at all since September's international break after picking up a hamstring injury on Sweden international duty, the 22-year-old has been absent from the Tottenham matchday squad for the past six games. His absence has been felt, most notably his creativity as Spurs have struggled in the final third as a result of his injury issue.
Speaking to the media at Hotspur Way on Friday afternoon to preview the Newcastle clash, Conte issued an update on Kulusevski and stated that they will "have to wait a bit of time to see him with us" once again.
