Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur have received a major blow with a devastating injury update on Mohammed Kudus.

Mohammed Kudus did not feature under Igor Tudor, who was appointed Tottenham manager on February 14, 2026, following the sacking of Thomas Frank. Tudor himself lasted just over a month in charge before being dismissed on March 29, a period during which Tottenham’s squad, including Kudus, was in flux.
According to reports from Metro Sport and TalkSport, Kudus’ recovery has been slower than expected, and there are fears that he could miss the remainder of the 2025/26 season, potentially ruling him out of Ghana’s 2026 World Cup campaign.
Surgery looms as Kudus faces uncertain return
Further compounding the concern, The Sun reports that Kudus may now require surgery.
It is a huge blow to new Spurs manager Roberto de Zerbi, who was looking forward to having the ex-Ajax man back in the team as quickly as possible.
The former Marseille boss takes charge of his first Tottenham match against Sunderland in a critical Premier League fixture on Sunday.
For most of the current campaign, Spurs have struggled for performance and results under both Frank and Tudor, making the appointment of De Zerbi one that lots of fans are keeping an eye on, waiting to see if it will change the fortunes of the 2025 Europa League winners.
Tottenham, meanwhile, currently sit 17th in the Premier League standings with 30 points in 31 matches, just a point above West Ham United, who are dealing with their own problems in 2025/26.
