AliousTottenham Hotspur had been hoping their growing injury list would begin to ease ahead of this weekend’s clash with Sunderland, but concerns remain with up to nine players still facing fitness doubts.
There was optimism that Mohammed Kudus would be among the next to return. A few weeks ago, Igor Tudor indicated that the Ghana international was targeting a comeback after the international break, and he was even seen back in training earlier this week. However, reports soon emerged suggesting he had suffered a setback—one that could potentially require surgery—just days before the Sunderland fixture.
Tottenham confirm fresh Kudus setback
Tottenham have now officially confirmed the latest blow regarding Kudus. In a statement shared via their official channels on X, the club provided clarity on his condition and the next steps in his recovery.
The statement read:
“We can confirm that Mohammed Kudus has suffered a setback in his return from injury.
The Ghana international forward sustained a significant quadriceps injury during our Premier League fixture against Sunderland in January.
Although he recently returned to team training, he will now undergo further specialist assessment and may require surgery. We will provide further updates in due course. We are all with you, Mo.”
Season in doubt for Kudus
This development is a major setback for Spurs, who are currently battling to avoid relegation and had hoped to welcome Kudus back for the crucial run-in.
The winger has been a key creative force for the team, and his absence has coincided with a clear dip in attacking output. Unsurprisingly, fans have expressed concern and frustration, fearing his continued absence could significantly impact the club’s survival hopes.
There is now a strong possibility that Kudus may not feature again this season, with some reports even suggesting his participation in this summer’s World Cup could be at risk. If surgery is required, he may have already played his final game of the campaign.
