Ange Postecoglou has allayed any fears over Dejan Kulusevski's fitness after the in-form playmaker took another knock to the right shoulder on international duty for Sweden on Tuesday evening.

Deki was in flying form again wearing the captain's armband for his country in UEFA Nations League action against Azerbaijan - this time scoring twice and picking up an assist in a 6-0 win in Stockholm. However, he also fell awkwardly on his shoulder again - just like he did during our recent UEFA Europa League clash against Galatasaray.

Asked in his press conference on Friday if that might be an issue ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash against City (5.30pm UK), Ange responded: "It's nothing major, actually, he's improved since he went away, coming back today, he actually feels better. It's just that he's had a couple of significant knocks in the same area in the last couple of weeks, but nothing permanent or major that needs any attention."
