Dejan Kulusevski injury update as Tottenham boss Antonio Conte faces decision for Arsenal match

Dejan Kulusevski is a doubt for Tottenham's North London Derby at Arsenal on Saturday after feeling tightness in his hamstring.

The 22-year-old underwent a scan at Hotspur Way on Wednesday after returning from international duty and having felt tightness in the muscle after playing 90 minutes of Sweden's 1-1 draw against Slovenia in the Nations League on Tuesday. Kulusevski also played 84 minutes and grabbed an assist in his country's 4-1 defeat at Serbia on Saturday.

Now the Swede, who has 17 goal involvements in 25 Premier League matches - 11 assists and six goals - is a doubt for Saturday lunch-time's derby at the Emirates Stadium between the two high-flying north London rivals. If Kulusevski cannot play then Spurs boss Antonio Conte will turn to Brazilian summer signing Richarlison, who netted three goals and grabbed an assist while on international duty this break.
