Dejan Kulusevski addresses 'impossible' return following 526-day injury layoff

Dejan Kulusevski, the Swedish international midfielder for Tottenham Hotspur, returned to action on Monday after a remarkable 526-day absence due to a severe knee injury. The Swedish star made his comeback as a late substitute in the 3-1 victory over Coventry City, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd. Kulusevski's family, including one of his children, celebrated his return, with the latter proudly displaying a jersey that read "526 days - my hero" across the back.

The midfielder revealed that the rehabilitation process was incredibly challenging and that he even warned his loved ones that he might never return to the field. Despite the odds, Kulusevski maintained his belief and worked tirelessly, often putting in 10 hours of daily effort when no one was watching. Cristiano Ronaldo's ultimatum to Portugal and strange behavior during a Liverpool match were among the other news stories.
