SpursSetback confirmed by club
Kudus (quadriceps) is heading back to the sidelines and will be assessed by a specialist, potentially requiring to undergo surgery, the team announced Thursday.
Analysis: Kudus is now expected to miss more time, having failed to make an appearance since January, as this relapse could make it difficult for him to return this season. His absence is a huge blow to both the club and the Ghana national team, given the possibility that he'll also miss the World Cup. The versatile midfielder had recorded three goals and five assists over 24 matches played for the Spurs early in the campaign. For now, Xavi Simons and Conor Gallagher should continue to see increased action with Kudus unavailable.
Suffers injury setback
Kudus has suffered a fresh setback, with surgery a possibility that could put his World Cup hopes in doubt, according to Jake Sanders from SunSport.
Analysis: Kudus has suffered a fresh injury setback, with concerns he could require surgery, putting his availability in doubt moving forward. The forward had been nearing a return and was expected back around 10 days after last featuring in January, making this a frustrating development. He remains a key attacking piece thanks to his dribbling ability and creativity, having recorded seven goal contributions in 19 Premier League appearances prior to the injury, and his potential absence could be a significant blow as the side looks to finish the season strongly and avoid the relegation battle, as well as potentially impacting his availability for the 2026 World Cup.
Could return after break
Kudus (quadriceps) is eyeing a return to the squad in around 10 days and could be an option when play resumes after the international break, according to manager Igor Tudor. "So, we have three weeks after the game on Sunday. I don't know, probably some part of the things with the squad, maybe 10 days. I'm not sure; we need to check. But he's progressing very well already with the ball."
Analysis: Kudus is earning a major upgrade in status this week, as the attacker is around 10 days away from returning to the squad. With the attacker last playing in January, this is huge news, potentially earning back a regular starter and great attacker as they end the season and try to avoid the relegation race. He recorded seven goal contributions in 19 appearances before the injury, likely to be a major boost to the squad once he returns, hoping it can come against Sunderland on April 12.
Seeing specialist
Kudus (quadriceps) has traveled to Amsterdam to see a specialist, according to Rahman Osman of The Sun.
Analysis: Kudus is seeking some further testing and another assessment of his injury, visiting a specialist he previously worked with for a knee injury. This comes amid the club's recent struggle, as he has missed their past nine games and they have gone 2-2-5 during that span. The hope now is he can resume training following the March break and potentially return close after that, possibly seeing a bit of a boost after a visit with the specialist.
Out until March
Kudus is out until after the March international break due to a tendon injury in his quadriceps, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Mohammed, unfortunately, is a bigger one to the tendon in the quad. That is one where we expect him back after the March international break."
Analysis: Kudus has gone through testing after the injury he suffered two games ago and is not happy with the results, as the attacker is looking at over two months out as he recovers. This is a rough development for the club who is already low on players everywhere due to injury, with Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert likely to see more time in Kudus' roles. With a return not expected until April, Kudus is set to miss a solid chunk of the remainder of the season and leave only around two months left once he is fit, a rough hit to the club's UCL spot chances after losing one of their lead attackers.
Still waiting for scan results
Kudus (undisclosed) is still waiting for the results of his scans that should arrive on Thursday, coach Thomas Frank said in a press conference. "We'll know more tomorrow."
Analysis: Kudus was forced off against Sunderland due to an undisclosed injury and underwent scans earlier this week, which still need to be reviewed to determine the extent of the issue. Kudus is expected to receive the results on Thursday and will hope there is no major concern so he can be back available for the next Premier League clash against West Ham United next week. If he has to miss time due to a more serious issue, Mathys Tel will likely replace him again in the frontline.
Out as expected
Kudus (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's match against Bournemouth.
Analysis: Kudus is not with the team for a midweek match, as the attacker is missing as expected after an injury in this weekends contest, too quick of a turnaround. More on his injury is likely tot be announced after the match, with a return date still up in the air. This is a major loss for the club, with Mathys Tel entering the starting XI in his place.
More than likely out Wednesday
Kudus (undisclosed) is set for further assessment and is likely out for Wednesday's match against Bournemouth, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Mo is going for a scan at 1pm to clarify the issue. Unfortunately I don't have a big update on him. Most likely (he is) ruled out for Bournemouth (game)."
Analysis: Kudus was taken off the field in the first half of Sunday's match and is now set for some testing on his injury, with the full extent still unknown. This is a major concern for the club after the sale of Brennan Johnson, a bit lower in the attacking department and potentially losing one of their top players this season for a bit of time. The matches continue to come think and thin, and with another contest Wednesday against Bournemouth, he seems more than likely to miss out, leaving Randal Kolo Muani or Xavi Simons entering the starting XI in his place.
Injured after 19 minutes
Kudus was forced off the field in the 19th minute of Sunday's match against Sunderland due to an apparent injury.
Analysis: Kudus would leave the field before the half-hour mark Sunday, exiting with medical staff after an injury. This is something to watch for the club after they just sold Brennan Johnson, having lost an attacking midfielder as an option, and now potentially losing another to injury. He was replaced by Randal Kolo Muani, who could see more time if he misses out longer, alongside Xavi Simons.
Three shots in Thursday's draw
Kudus recorded three shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Thursday's 0-0 draw against Brentford.
Analysis: Kudus led the team with three shots in Thursday's road match, but he along with everyone else on the pitch was unable to find the back of the net. It marked the most shots he's taken since Nov. 1, but he failed to create a chance and only recorded one accurate cross in his full 90 minutes of action.
Nine crosses Sunday
Kudus registered one shot (zero on goal), nine crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 3-0 loss versus Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Kudus recorded nine crosses in Sunday's loss, his fourth straight match with at least nine crosses. He only recorded one accurate cross though, and he also added one chance created and one off-target shot in Spurs' disappointing day. He was subbed off in the 80th minute for Brennan Johnson.
Scores in Tuesday's UCL win
Kudus scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 3-0 win against Slavia Prague.
Analysis: Kudus converted a penalty in the 50th minute of Tuesday's match, a goal which took the 2-0 lead. It marked his first UCL goal contribution of the season in his fifth appearance (three starts). He has now recorded three goal contributions in his last four appearances in all competitions. He put two shots on target and created one chance before he was subbed off early in the 58th minute for Mathys Tel.
Assists in Tuesday's draw
Kudus assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), 10 crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Tuesday's 2-2 draw against Newcastle United.
Analysis: Kudus' cross assisted Cristian Romero's header in the 78th minute Tuesday, a goal which briefly tied the match at 1-1. It marked his fifth assist of the season and his first since Oct. 4. He also recorded double digit crosses for the fifth time this season, including his second match in a row. He was subbed off in the 87th minute for Wilson Odobert.
Scores in Saturday's loss
Kudus scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), 16 crosses (two accurate) and seven corners in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Fulham.
Analysis: Kudus found the back of the net in the 59th minute Saturday off a Lucas Bergvall assist. It marked his second goal of the season and his first since Oct. 4. He also recorded a season-high 16 crosses and created two chances in the loss. He played the full 90 minutes for the seventh time this season.
Starting against Gunners
Kudus (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Arsenal.
Analysis: Kudus is back with the squad in a major addition for Spurs, gaining back their lead man in the attack after two games out. He should remain in a starting role now that he is fit and will hope for no setbacks after his hot start to the campaign, recording one goal and four assists in 10 league appearances (10 starts).
Ready for North London Derby
Kudus (undisclosed) is an option for Sunday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Thomas Frank. "He trained today and is available."
Analysis: Kudus was expected to be an option following the international break, and that has come to fruition, with the attacker fit to face Arsenal. This is massive news for the club, with the attacker being one of their top producers this season, recording one goal and four assists. He should immediately earn the start, having yet to miss a start in league play when fit.
Should be available against Arsenal
Kudus (undisclosed) should be available for the clash against Arsenal after the break, coach Thomas Franck said to the media, according to Football London.
Analysis: Kudus suffered a knock before the Champions League game against Copenhagen which sidelined him for Saturday's clash with Manchester United. The forward is expected to fully recover during the international break as he won't join the Ghana squad and will instead prepare to be back available for the derby against Arsenal on Nov. 23.
Ruled out Saturday
Kudus (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Manchester United.
Analysis: Kudus has not been included in the squad for Saturday's league match as he continues to deal with lingering injury concerns. He was already sidelined for the club's last Champions League fixture and was questionable ahead of this game. Brennan Johnson is starting in his place against the Red Devils.
Touch and go for Saturday
Kudus (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's match against Manchester United, according to his club.
Analysis: Kudus missed out on the club's last match in UCL play due to injury and is questiomable to return in league play Saturday, battling his injuries heading into the contest. This will leave him as a late call, probably needing to pass some testing to be an option for the match. He is a starter and will look to earn that role back if he is fit, with Brennan Johnson as a likely replacement.
Out against Copenhagen
Kudus (knock) is not in the squad for Tuesday's match against Copenhagen.
Analysis: Kudus fails to make the squad Tuesday, which either means he's getting fully rested or the knock is serious than Thomas Frank led on before the match. Brennan Johnson and Wilson Odobert are on the wings Tuesday with Kudus hopeful to return to the XI for Saturday's match against Manchester United.
