Kudus is still suspended and will return to action in December. On December 3, 2024, he will face Issahaku's Leicester City.

Meanwhile, the Foxes winger is expected to continue his fine run of form while Semenyo continues to lead the Cherries.

Among the trio, Semenyo has the most goals this season, with four in 11 appearances while Kudus has netted twice in eight games. Issahaku has contributed two assists in 11 matches.

Issahaku's game-changing performance

Despite featuring in all games, it took the match against Southampton for the 20-year-old to completely gain the trust of manager Steve Cooper.

Issahaku climbed off the bench to inspire the former Premier League champions to a 3-2 comeback win against the Saints at Saint Mary's, as reported by Ghana Soccernet.

He has since started all league matches for the returnees, who are poised to maintain their place in the top flight.
