Mohamed Kudus is set to miss action until April after picking up an injury in Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League encounter with Sunderland.
The 25-year-old was substituted in visible discomfort, with initial assessments confirming a hamstring problem that demands careful management.
Fresh from his transfer from West Ham United, Kudus has injected vitality into Tottenham’s forward line.
His haul of five assists ranks him among the Premier League best creators this season, surpassed only by Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes, Manchester City’s Ryan Cherki, and Everton’s Jack Grealish.
Tottenham now grapples with a creativity gap at a critical juncture. Thomas Frank’s squad, chasing Champions League qualification, must adapt without Kudus’s trademark dribbles and key passes that have defined their season.
The news hits hardest for Ghana ahead of the 2026 World Cup in June. Scarce minutes could erode Kudus’s sharpness, posing challenges for Black Stars coach Otto Addo in finalizing his core squad and tactics.
