Tottenham Hotspur are dealing with another major setback. The situation continues to worsen at a crucial stage of the season. However, injuries have already stretched the squad.
Several key players remain unavailable. Meanwhile, Spurs are fighting to avoid relegation. They sit just one point above the drop zone.
At the same time, their focus is now on survival. With only seven games left, every match matters. But now, a fresh concern has emerged.
Mohammed Kudus has suffered a new problem during his recovery. The Ghana international has been out since January.
He picked up a serious quadriceps injury during a 1-1 draw against Sunderland. Since then, he has missed 16 matches across all competitions.
However, there was hope for a return. Igor Tudor had confirmed he was back working with the ball when he was the Tottenham Hotspur manager.
That update raised expectations, and many believed he could return soon. Meanwhile, there was even hope he could feature in Roberto De Zerbi’s first game in charge.
Spurs face Sunderland this Sunday. But that optimism has now faded. According to The Sun, Kudus has suffered a new setback, and the exact issue remains unclear.
Meanwhile, his World Cup hopes could also be affected, and Ghana may have to plan without him. Kudus made a strong impact earlier this season.
He scored three goals and provided six assists in 26 appearances after his £55 million move from West Ham. However, Tottenham are already without several players.
James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, Guglielmo Vicario, Pape Sarr, Rodrigo Bentancur, Ben Davies and Yves Bissouma are all unavailable.
So, the new manager, Roberto De Zerbi, has a gigantic challenge on his hands. He has to fight and keep the Spurs in the Premier League.
And with Kudus facing another setback, the challenge has become even harder for the former Brighton manager.
