Antonio Conte confirmed following Tottenham’s 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday that he expects Dejan Kulusevski to be back for the clash against Everton.
Spurs’ match against Frankfurt proved to be a much more nail-biting finish than it should have been, with the home side squandering chances to put the game to bed.
The Germans, who were reduced to ten men, pulled one back from a corner late in the game to set up a nervy finish.
However, overall, there were plenty of positives to come out of Wednesday’s match, with the win taking the Lilywhites to the top of Group D.
In addition, Lucas Moura also returned to action for the first time since Tottenham’s 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge in August, with the Brazilian getting a few minutes of action under his belt after replacing Son Heung-min on 86 minutes.
Kulusevski has not featured for Spurs since picking up an injury in last month’s international break but Conte has now said that he expects the Swede to make his comeback on Saturday.
The Spurs boss told BT Sport after his side’s 3-2 win: “For sure, on Saturday, we have Kulusevski. Probably he’ll be available for the game. For us, this is really good news because to have an important option on the bench for us, is vital.”

Kulusevski offers a different dimension to our attack, with his ability to carry the ball and take players on. We have certainly missed the cutting edge that the Swede provides over recent weeks, and his return will be a massive boost, especially with matches now coming thick and fast.
