On Saturday, Tottenham will host Brighton in the FA Cup and Kulusevski will be in the match squad.
- Kulusevski is in shape and for that reason he will be available tomorrow, of course.
No starting player
Even if the 21-year-old is ready for games, it will not be from the start, Conte announces.
- Starting the match is not right because they (Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur) need to work with the team for a period.
These two players can help us a lot, says Conte according to The Athletic journalist Charlie Eccleshare.
Tribute by Conte
Then Conte took the opportunity to pay tribute to Kulusevski.
- He is a good player, very young and a great talent.
He can play both number nine and ten.
But Dejan also has the potential to play wingback on the right.
He is good one on one and good at creating chances for his teammates, says Conte.
