Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi made a tackle that resulted in a serious injury to Kulusevski’s right knee, requiring surgery.Dejan Kulusevski 🫡🇸🇪 pic.twitter.com/sxtI3hWVwE— Svensk Fotboll (@svenskfotboll) March 25, 2026 At first, Kulusevski was expected to return to the pitch around December, but he has remained sidelined all this time, unable to help his struggling side. Moreover, he has witnessed a serious managerial whirlwind during this time.Kulusevski will have had seven different Tottenham managers since first playing for the club four years ago. But what’s most staggering – he hasn’t played a single minute for two of his former Spurs bosses – Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor.Last time the Swede featured f..

Jermain Defoe is a big name in English football. He was never quite a superstar nor did he play for the very biggest clubs in the country, but he scored plenty of goals in the Premier League and made numerous appearances for the England national team.He ended his professional career in 2022, finishing at Rangers FC, where he even briefly served as a caretaker coach. Five years later, the time has come for Defoe to truly step into management.Woking Football Club is pleased to confirm the appointment of Jermain Defoe as the club’s new Manager. ♦️— Woking Football Club (@wokingfc) March 29, 2026 The former England international officially became the new manager of Woking FC yesterday, a fifth-tier side currently sitting 11th in the table.

The future of Robert Lewandowski is shaping up to be one of the more intriguing topics ahead of the June transfer window in European football. Although the Polish striker will turn 38—right after the World Cup—and despite having his minutes more carefully managed this season, he remains an important asset in the squad of Hansi Flick. According to Catalan outlet Sport, Joan Laporta is planning to offer Lewandowski a one-year contract extension, as his current deal with FC Barcelona expires at the end of June. On one hand, this would be a gesture of appreciation toward a player who pushed hard to join Barca during financially difficult times for the club. On the other, the sporting department still believes he can contribute—albeit more as a backup striker rather than a guaranteed starter.Barca curse international break: Ill-fortunate Raphinha sidelined for five weeksHowever, the financial terms would change significantly.
