Kulusevski , 25, is one of half a dozen crocked stars in Thomas Frank 's squad.
To boost his attempts to return to the pitch, he had surgery on his kneecap.
He suffered the injury back in May during the 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace .
Former manager Ange Postecoglou initially described the issue as a knock before it was revealed that he needed surgery.
Kulusevki has now shared a gruesome picture from the op, which shows the inside of his knee.
He posted the snap on Instagram for his 1.3milllion followers.
He captioned the post : "Warning for sensitive content. Thank god it happened so I could see it clear."
Fans were left horrified by the snap and flooded the comment section to let the Swedish international know it.
One posted: "Kulusevski has me traumatised."
A second wrote: "Deki mate, we didn't need to see this."
A third commented: "Bro where’s the nsfw warning?"
A fourth said: "Thanks Dejan, I’ll skip lunch today."
Another added: "Great recovery baller, back better then ever."
He has given an update on his potential return to the pitch as he travelled to Sweden 's international break camp.

"If everything goes as it should, as it has so far, I am very confident that I will be on the field in two to three months."
