Tottenham Hotspur winger Dejan Kulusevski has undergone surgery on his right knee just days before the club’s highly anticipated Europa League final against Manchester United. The 25-year-old picked up the injury during Spurs’ 2-0 Premier League loss to Crystal Palace last weekend.

Despite the setback, Tottenham have not ruled Kulusevski out for the remainder of the season. In a statement, the club confirmed that the Swedish international “will commence his rehabilitation with our medical staff immediately,” leaving the door open for a potential return in time for the final in Bilbao next Wednesday.

Kulusevski took to Instagram following the news, sharing an emotional message alongside a video compilation of his standout moments from the season. “For the people that I gave joy this year, thank you. I appreciate you and I love you. I pray for you,” he wrote, receiving an outpouring of support from fans and teammates.

This latest injury comes shortly after Kulusevski made his return from a foot issue that had sidelined him for several weeks. Upon his comeback, he played a key role in Spurs’ European campaign, featuring in crucial victories over Eintracht Frankfurt and Bodo/Glimt that secured their place in the Europa League final.

So far this season, Kulusevski has been one of Tottenham’s most consistent performers, registering 10 goals and 11 assists in 50 appearances across all competitions. The club will be hoping for positive news from his rehabilitation as they prepare for their biggest match of the season.

Real Madrid have initiated contact with Bournemouth regarding a potential move for rising defensive talent Dean Huijsen.

The 19-year-old centre-back, who has quickly made a name for himself with standout performances in the Premier League, is attracting serious interest from several top European clubs. Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich are all monitoring his situation closely. Huijsen reportedly has a £50 million release clause written into his contract—an amount that, until now, no club had formally approached Bournemouth about triggering.

However, Real Madrid have now taken the first concrete step, opening dialogue with Bournemouth and signaling their willingness to activate the clause. Sources suggest Huijsen himself would prefer a move to the Spanish giants, making them early frontrunners in what is expected to be a competitive race for his signature.

Behind the scenes, talks have already taken place between Huijsen’s representatives and at least five Premier League clubs, along with other top sides from LaLiga and the Bundesliga. These discussions have centered on the structure of a possible deal ahead of the upcoming transfer window.

Huijsen’s meteoric rise has been nothing short of remarkable. When Bournemouth quietly signed him from Juventus for just £12 million in July 2024, the move drew little attention. Yet in under a year, his value has soared to £50 million, underlining just how transformative his first season in England has been.

Real Madrid edged past Getafe 1-0 in LaLiga to keep their title hopes alive, thanks to a first-half strike from youngster Arda Güler. The match lacked flair, but Güler’s composed finish was enough to secure all three points in a tightly contested affair. The win keeps pressure on the league leaders and shows Madrid’s ability to grind out results when needed.

The victory comes at a crucial time, just days ahead of their highly anticipated Copa del Rey final showdown against Barcelona. While the performance was far from their best, the result provides a timely boost in morale. With momentum on their side, Madrid will look to carry this confidence into the final as they chase silverware on multiple fronts.

Arsenal delayed Liverpool’s Premier League title celebrations with a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace, despite a stunning late equalizer from Jean-Philippe Mateta at the Emirates.

Liverpool would have secured the title without playing had Palace won, but now just need to avoid defeat to Spurs on Super Sunday to claim their 20th top-flight crown.

Arsenal struck early through Jakub Kiwior’s header from a Martin Odegaard free-kick, their 16th set-piece goal of the season. Palace responded with Eberechi Eze’s volley after a clever corner routine from Adam Wharton.

Leandro Trossard gave Arsenal the lead again before half-time with a deflected strike, and though Palace made changes with the FA Cup semi-final in mind, they still created chances.

Arsenal had a third goal ruled out by VAR and saw Bukayo Saka denied late, but it was Mateta’s brilliant lob after a William Saliba error that gave Liverpool renewed hope.

RC Celta de Vigo delivered a commanding performance at Estadio de Balaídos on Sunday, earning a vital 3-0 victory over 10-man Villarreal to keep their European ambitions firmly on track. The result handed El Submarino Amarillo just their third defeat in 13 LaLiga matches and tightened the race for European spots with just six games remaining.

Coming into the clash on the back of two straight league defeats, Celta showed immediate urgency and intent. Marcos Alonso and Fer López both tested the Villarreal defense early, with the hosts pressing high and controlling possession.

Their momentum was further aided midway through the first half when Villarreal were reduced to ten men. Eric Bailly was shown a straight red card for a reckless last-man challenge on Alfonso González, who was clean through on goal. The visitors’ resistance with a man down lasted only eight minutes.

Right before the break, Fran Beltrán picked out an unmarked López with a low cross into the box, and the young forward made no mistake, slotting in his second goal of the season to give Celta a deserved lead.

Celta kept their foot on the gas after the interval. Just eight minutes into the second half, substitute Ilaix Moriba rattled the post from the edge of the area. The resulting scramble led to a loose ball in the box, which Borja Iglesias calmly tucked away to double the advantage and leave Villarreal with a mountain to climb.

With Villarreal struggling to find any foothold in the game, Celta nearly put the result beyond doubt just after the hour mark. Iago Aspas, also brought on as a second-half substitute, pounced on a defensive lapse and fired a quick strike that forced Luiz Júnior into a backpedaling save.

Celta’s dominance was finally reflected in a third goal late in the contest. Moriba, eager to make an impact, drew a foul from Pape Gueye inside the area, earning a penalty. Aspas stepped up and dispatched the spot-kick with confidence, capping off a comprehensive performance from the Galician outfit.

The win marks Celta’s 10th home victory of the campaign and continues their strong form at Balaídos, where they’ve now collected 33 points from a possible 46. The result propels them to seventh in the table and keeps the dream of European qualification alive.

For Villarreal, who suffered only their third away defeat in the last 14 head-to-head meetings with Celta, the loss means their grip on fifth place—and the final UEFA Champions League spot—remains precarious, with Real Betis now just a point behind.

Top-four contenders Lazio snapped Genoa’s six-match unbeaten home run in 2025 with a well-earned 2-0 victory at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris—just their second win in six Serie A outings.

Genoa started with intensity, but their momentum was cut short when Sebastian Otoa was sent off early for a reckless foul on Mattia Zaccagni. A brief delay due to flare smoke gave officials time to review, and VAR upheld the red card.

Lazio broke through on 32 minutes with a moment of brilliance—Zaccagni and Luca Pellegrini combined to set up Taty Castellanos, who finished with a stunning scissor-kick volley.

Despite the man advantage, Lazio couldn’t immediately kill the game, with Nicolò Rovella missing a golden chance. Genoa nearly equalized through Johan Vásquez, but Christos Mandas denied him with a fine save.

The visitors finally doubled their lead when Pellegrini again won possession and started a move finished by Boulaye Dia, who slotted home coolly after a perfectly timed run.

The match turned chaotic late on as Dia’s substitute, Reda Belahyane, was sent off just a minute after coming on for kicking Morten Thorsby—a yellow card upgraded to red by VAR.

Still, Lazio saw it out, moving within one point of fourth-placed Bologna and keeping their Champions League hopes alive, while Genoa’s dream of a top-half finish remains out of reach.

A surprise goal from Mateo Pellegrino stunned Juventus and handed Igor Tudor his first loss as head coach of the Bianconeri.

Juventus fell 1-0 to Parma on Wednesday evening in a rescheduled Serie A clash from Week 33. The defeat came on the road, with the visitors unable to find a breakthrough despite enjoying the lion’s share of possession.

Dusan Vlahovic and Randal Kolo Muani led the line for Juventus, as Kenan Yildiz remained on the bench, not fully fit. Vlahovic came closest to scoring in the first half, but he fired wide from a tight angle in one of the Bianconeri’s few clear chances.

Despite controlling the tempo, Juventus struggled to break through Parma’s compact defensive setup. The hosts capitalized on one of their rare attacking moments just before the break, when Pellegrino rose high to meet an Emanuele Valenti cross, beating Michele Di Gregorio with a powerful header to give Parma a shock lead.

At halftime, Vlahovic was forced off with a thigh injury and replaced by Francisco Conceição, who injected some energy into the attack. Still, Juventus couldn’t generate many meaningful chances. Yildiz also came on later in the second half, taking the place of Weston McKennie, but the young talent couldn’t alter the course of the match.

Parma continued to threaten on the counter, with Simon Sohm testing Di Gregorio, although his tame effort was easily saved. On the other end, Zion Suzuki denied Kolo Muani’s low drive from distance.

In the closing stages, Juventus attempted to find an equalizer through a flurry of crosses, but Parma’s defense held firm. Suzuki confidently claimed high balls and marshaled his box well to preserve the clean sheet.

The defeat sees Juventus fall one point behind fourth-placed Bologna and level with Lazio, who claimed a 2-0 win at Genoa earlier in the day.

Nottingham Forest clung on for a vital 2-1 win at Tottenham, reigniting their Champions League hopes and climbing to third in the Premier League table.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side responded to back-to-back defeats with a blistering start in north London. Elliot Anderson’s deflected shot and Chris Wood’s header had Forest two goals up within 16 minutes. From there, it was all about defence. Spurs dominated possession and chances, but Forest’s back line held firm until Richarlison headed in with three minutes left. Despite late pressure, Forest held on for a crucial three points.

The win marks Forest’s first league double over Spurs since 1997 and a sweet return for Nuno, who has transformed the club from relegation candidates to European hopefuls. They now head into their FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City full of belief.

Tottenham, meanwhile, were left frustrated despite registering 22 shots to Forest’s four and an xG of 2.14. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario endured a poor night, culpable for both Forest goals, while Forest’s Matz Sels pulled off a series of big saves to keep the hosts at bay. Spurs’ sluggish start proved costly and leaves them facing the prospect of their worst-ever Premier League finish, with Europa League success now their best hope of silverware.

Burnley have secured an immediate return to the Premier League, bouncing back at the first attempt following their relegation in 2023. Their place in the top flight was confirmed after a crucial 2-1 victory over third-placed Sheffield United at Turf Moor, extending their incredible unbeaten run in the league to 31 matches.

This marks the third time in recent history that Burnley have responded to relegation with immediate promotion, having done the same in both 2015 and 2022. The win not only underlined their consistency throughout the campaign but also left Sheffield United with the uphill task of navigating the play-offs if they are to join Burnley and Leeds in the Premier League next season.

Earlier in the day, Leeds United had thrashed Stoke City 6-0 to move top of the Sky Bet Championship on 94 points. Leeds needed Burnley to avoid defeat against the Blades to ensure both clubs would finish inside the automatic promotion spots—and Burnley duly delivered.

Scott Parker, in his debut season at Turf Moor, has added another promotion to his managerial CV, having previously guided both Fulham and Bournemouth to the Premier League. His side last tasted league defeat over five months ago in a narrow loss at Millwall, and they now stand on the brink of matching Reading’s record of 33 unbeaten league games in a single Championship season.

With two games remaining, both Burnley and Leeds have a shot at finishing the campaign on 100 points, setting up an exciting race for the title as the season draws to a close.
