Ghana international Mohammed Kudus is facing a major injury setback after medical scans confirmed he may require surgery following a recurrence of a hamstring injury.
The 25-year-old attacker has been sidelined since January due to a combination of quad and hamstring issues. Kudus had recently stepped up his recovery and resumed individual training earlier this week, raising hopes of an imminent return to action.
However, further medical examinations conducted on Wednesday revealed a relapse, with sources suggesting the injury could now require surgical intervention.
The development means Kudus is unlikely to feature again this season for Tottenham Hotspur, dealing a significant blow to the club as they continue their fight to avoid relegation in the Premier League.
New Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi will be particularly concerned about the situation, as the Ghanaian playmaker is considered an important part of his tactical plans.
Kudus joined Tottenham from West Ham United last summer in a reported £55 million transfer and has recorded two goals and five assists in the league so far this season.
The timing of the setback is also worrying for the Ghana national football team, with Kudus regarded as one of the team’s most influential players ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Ghana has been drawn in a difficult group alongside England national football team, Croatia national football team, and Panama national football team.
The Black Stars are scheduled to face England on June 23 in what is expected to be a crucial group-stage clash.
Should Kudus miss the tournament, it would represent a major blow to Ghana’s attacking strength, as the team relies heavily on his creativity, dribbling ability, and goal-scoring threat.
Ghana’s technical team and supporters will now anxiously await updates on his recovery timeline, hoping the talented midfielder can return in time for football’s biggest stage.
