Dejan Kulusevski remains sidelined by a serious knee injury after 10 months out, posting inspirational social media updates amid Tottenham's relegation fight. Juventus are reportedly keen on both him and Destiny Udogie, who is also nursing an injury, as Spurs face squad upheaval under interim boss Igor Tudor. Managerial changes loom with names like Roberto De Zerbi and Robbie Keane in the mix.

Kulusevski's Biblical Rally Cry as Spurs Teeter on Relegation Brink – Juventus Sniffing Around?

Tottenham's season has gone from bad to relegation roulette, and right in the middle of the mess is Dejan Kulusevski, the Swedish wizard who's been sidelined for a whopping 10 months. Picture this: the former Juventus lad hasn't kicked a ball since limping off against Crystal Palace last May with a nasty right kneecap injury. Surgery followed, rehab dragged on, and now at 25, he's watching his Spurs mates flirt with the Championship from the treatment room.

But hold onto your pints – Kulusevski's not throwing in the towel. He dropped a proper cryptic post on socials, quoting the Bible's Isaiah: wings like eagles, running without tiring, the works. Paired with Avicii's 'For a Better Day', it's like he's scripting his own comeback movie. Videos of him grafting in training suggest he's itching to lace up those boots.

Igor Tudor, the interim gaffer, gave a vague nod in a presser, as reported by Simone Gervasio at Goal.com. 'He's in good spirits, medical team's optimistic, but we'll see next week,' the Croatian shrugged. Hope for a late-season return? Maybe. But with Spurs one point above the drop zone, facing Liverpool next, Kulusevski's timing couldn't be worse.

Udogie's Absence and Italian Interest Heats Up

It's not just Kulusevski gathering cobwebs. Destiny Udogie, the Italian left-back sensation, hasn't featured under Tudor either – out since early February with his own knocks. Ciaran McCarthy at TEAMtalk notes Tudor expects him back for Nottingham Forest after the Liverpool clash and Atletico Madrid second leg in the Champions League (where Spurs trail 5-2, ouch).

Yet amid the chaos, transfer vultures are circling. Juventus reportedly 'stand out' in the race for Udogie, viewing him as a Serie A dream fit for around €20m. Kulusevski's got admirers too, especially back in Italy – Atalanta, Parma, and his old club are watching. Signed for €30m in 2020, he's notched 25 goals and 30 assists in 146 games, even bagged a Europa League medal on crutches.

Relegation would trigger a fire sale. Stars like Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero would bolt, and Udogie or Kulusevski might follow. Djed Spence has filled in decently at left-back, but Spurs' backline's been a spin-the-wheel lottery this term.

Tudor's Tightrope and Managerial Merry-Go-Round

Tudor's on trial, basically – insiders whisper his probation ends post-Notts Forest. Roberto De Zerbi is the 'dream' pick per Fabrizio Romano, while Robbie Keane lurks high on the list, per TEAMtalk sources. Crystal Palace and Celtic are eyeing Keane too, so Tottenham better not dilly-dally.

No European footy next year unless they pull off a miracle in Europe, but survival's the real battle. Kulusevski's future? Tied to Spurs' fate. If they drop, expect bids flying in. The Swede's talent screams Premier League (or Serie A return), but for now, he's channeling eagle wings and Avicii vibes. Will he soar back in time? Or wave goodbye from the stands?
