Tottenham picked up a massive win at Bournemouth yesterday as they came from behind to snatch a dramatic three points.

A late Rodrigo Bentancur winner sent the travelling Spurs fans into meltdown at the Vitality and it was just what Antonio Conte needed. A tough few weeks have seen Conte come under slight pressure. But this win gives Spurs a huge boost going into a clash with Marseille they must take something from.

Of course, one of the other bonuses from the trip to Bournemouth was the sight of Dejan Kulusevski warming up before kick off. The Swede has been a massive miss in recent weeks. However, he looked to be nearly back to full fitness, as he sprinted up and down the pitch.

And according to Football.London, Spurs fans will only need to wait until tomorrow night to find out if Kulusevski will be fit for Marseille. It’s claimed an update will come during a press conference on Monday evening, where Antonio Conte will lay out Kulusevki’s status.

Tottenham have been poor going forward with Kulusevski in recent weeks. His absence has left the burden firmly with Kane and Son, with the pair struggling to carry the weight.

TBR’s View: Kulusevski return can be massive for Tottenham in Marseille

Few would have predicted just how stale Tottenham would become with Kulusevski, but it has been a real eye opener.

His talents in wide areas have been sorely missed. Like Kane and Son, Kulusevski is a player who can win games from nothing. His injury has been a massive hinderance.

However, seeing him up and running at Bournemouth will have been great for Conte and Spurs fans. Getting a result against Marseille is massive for the club, and having your best players available is huge. Even if Kulusevski can play 20-30 minutes, it will give Conte a much-needed option.
