Ghana forward Kudus Mohammed is at risk of missing the FIFA World Cup 2026 after suffering a fresh injury setback. Kudus was due to return from injury this month, having originally suffered a serious quad tendon injury in Tottenham Hotspur’s draw against Sunderland in January.
Last month, Spurs’ former interim head coach Igor Tudor had suggested that the Ghanaian was two weeks away from a return. He said:
“So we have these three weeks after the game on Sunday. He will probably do some part of the things with the squad maybe 10 days [after the break]. I don’t know, I’m not sure. We need to check, but he is progressing very well. Already a little bit with the ball.”
Commentary: Kudus has been a key player for Ghana, contributing nine goal involvements in 24 appearances this season. His injury is a serious blow to Ghana’s World Cup ambitions, illustrating the fragility of national team preparations when players face recurring injuries at club level.
However, Kudus has not trained with Spurs since that interview and has now aggravated the injury. Although the nature of the injury remains unknown, Kudus is expected to miss the rest of the season and may miss Ghana’s World Cup campaign in June.
