Mohammed Kudus - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Opts out of Ghana duty Kudus has opted out of Ghana's upcoming international fixtures despite being called up to the squad in order to remain with Tottenham and focus on completing his recovery and regai...

Impact Kudus will use the international break to continue building his fitness after recently returning from injury and being limited to substitute appearances. The winger played the entire second half against Aston Villa and provided an assist, showing progress toward a larger workload. Remaining with Tottenham should give him additional time to improve his conditioning, with Kudus potentially pushing for a return to the starting XI against Manchester United on Oct. 10.

Assists in Saturday's loss Kudus assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa.

Impact Kudus helped end Spurs' goal drought Saturday as he played a nice pass to Conor Gallagher in the 86th minute to cut the deficit to 3-1. It was another appearance off the bench for Kudus as he eases back from an injury, though this time he came on at halftime. With an international break on the horizon, Kudus could finally return to the starting XI on Oct. 10 at Manchester United.

Active performance Tuesday Kudus made his first start of the season, recording three shots (one on goal) and four crosses (one accurate) in Tuesday's 3-1 EFL Cup loss to Liverpool, and he was mentioned by ma...

Impact Kudus finally saw a meaningful outing, although he lacked efficiency during a tough cup contest. He's not yet in top shape following a lengthy recovery period from a muscular injury that sidelined him for most of the first half of the calendar year. However, if he reaches his former level, he'll be one of the team's most valuable and polyvalent midfielders, competing mainly with Savio on the right wing and with Mateus Fernandes, James Maddison and Conor Gallagher for a central spot.

Could start in EFL Cup Kudus could start in Tuesday's EFL Cup match against Liverpool on Tuesday, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "Kudus can start, because in terms of physical condition he's bett...

Impact Kudus played 27 minutes off the bench against Everton last week and has logged three straight EPL appearances in which he's played between 22 and 29 minutes. The Ghanaian winger hasn't started a game for the Spurs since Jan. 4, and that drought could come to an end soon, paving the way for Kudus to become a regular starter for the Spurs after the October international break.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Three crosses Saturday Kudus registered three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Everton.

Impact Kudus came off the bench in his third straight match Saturday, once again playing just under a half hour as he eases back from his long injury absence. He was decent in his bench appearance, creating one chance in his second straight match. With Spurs still scoreless through four matches this season, Kudus will hope to join the starting XI soon to finally get his side over that hump.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Makes long-awaited return Kudus recorded one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Newcastle United.

Impact Kudus made his first appearance since suffering a serious quadriceps injury on Jan. 4. He replaced Mathys Tel in the 68th minute and immediately provided a spark on the wing. Still, he looked a bit rusty as he didn't record an accurate cross despite contributing five crosses, and a couple of the crosses were way off target. It may take him some time to fully get back to himself, but once he does he will be a regular member of the starting XI.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

On bench against Newcastle Kudus (quadriceps) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Newcastle United.

Impact Kudus has been working his way back from a quadriceps injury that sidelined him for nearly eight months. After missing the first two competitive games of the season, he is now back in the squad and could make his long-awaited return from the bench.

AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE

Could make bench Saturday Kudus (quadriceps) could make the bench for Saturday's clash against Newcastle United, according to coach Roberto De Zerbi.

Impact Kudus has been working his way back from a quadriceps injury that has kept him out for nearly eight months, and while he was not ready for the recent League Cup match against Charlton Athletic, this update marks an encouraging step forward. His return, even in a limited capacity, would be a welcome boost for the Spurs, who have missed his creativity going forward throughout his extended absence.

AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined past opener Kudus (quadriceps) is not yet ready to face Charlton Athletic in Wednesday's League Cup match and remains a serious doubt for Saturday's Premier League clash with Newcastle United,...

Impact Kudus has been working his way back from a quadriceps injury that has kept him out for nearly eight months, and De Zerbi said before the weekend that the winger was closing in on a return. That timeline slipped when he was left out of Saturday's opener against Brentford, and Tottenham now indicate he's also unlikely to feature against Charlton Athletic in the cup. With Newcastle United arriving quickly after, his availability for that one looks similarly uncertain, with the club leaning toward caution rather than risk. Tottenham, who have missed his creativity going forward, will be eager to have him back once the medical staff are satisfied he's ready.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Still awaiting return Kudus (quadriceps) is not in the squad for Saturday's season opener against Brentford.

Impact Kudus has been sidelined for nearly eight months with a quadriceps injury but returned to team training ahead of the season. Head coach Roberto De Zerbi recently said he was almost ready, though his absence from the squad Sunday means he will have to wait longer for his return to action.

AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing return from quad injury Kudus (quadriceps) is close to full fitness, according to coach Roberto De Zerbi. "Kudus is almost ready."

Impact Kudus's recent progress caps a recovery from a quadriceps injury that kept him out for nearly eight months. He'd already returned to team training, and this update suggests his path back to matchday squads is finally coming into view. He notched two goals and five assists in 19 appearances before the injury and is assumed to be a starter once fully fit. Mikey Moore is expected to continue deputizing for him until Kudus is ready to reclaim his spot.

AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE

No minutes played in preseason Kudus (quadriceps) is not part of Tottenham's squad to face Hoffenheim, ending preseason without featuring in a single match, the club announced.

Impact Kudus had returned to team training after nearly eight months out with a quadriceps injury, marking major progress in his recovery, but his continued absence from matchday squads suggests he remains a way off full match readiness. He notched two goals and five assists in 19 appearances before the injury and is assumed to be a starter once fully fit. Mikey Moore could start in his place for the season opener against Brentford.

AUGUST 16 • ROTOWIRE

Resumes training with teammates Kudus (quadricpes) was back in team training Thursday, according to his club.

Impact Kudus is making a major step in his recovery from injury, as the attacker has made his way back to team training after nearly eight months out. This is huge news as he prepares for the start of the season on Aug. 22 against Brentford, potentially an option from the jump to begin this season. He is assumed to be a starter once he is fit, as he was a major piece of the team that they missed following his injury last campaign, notching two goals and five assists in 19 appearances.

AUGUST 13 • ROTOWIRE

Set to resume training Kudus (quadriceps) is expected to rejoin training with the group this week, according to coach Roberto De Zerbi, per Football London.

Impact Kudus has been sidelined since January with a quad injury, an absence that also cost him a spot at this summer's World Cup and kept him out of Tottenham's final matches of last season. His pace, dribbling and versatility across the frontline make him a key attacking weapon once fully reintegrated, and this update marks encouraging progress in a recovery that has stretched well over half a year. Kudus is expected to begin working with the squad again in the near future as his return draws closer.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Very close to return Kudus (quad) is very close to returning to action, according to coach Roberto De Zerbi. "I think when we come back to London he will be available to start working with us."

Impact Kudus has been out with a quad muscle injury since early January, missing Tottenham's final 23 matches in all competitions last season, and manager De Zerbi's update marks the most encouraging sign yet of his return following a setback in April that also cost him a spot at the World Cup. His planned reintegration with the squad once Tottenham returns to London positions him to begin working with the team again in the near future, a boost De Zerbi described as a great thing given the importance of Kudus for the Spurs.

Impact Kudus' recovery from a serious quad injury suffered in January already suffered one setback in April, which cost him the World Cup, and he continues to follow a separate rehab plan away from the traveling squad. He has been shown working intensively with strength and conditioning coaches on high intensity twisting and turning movements, a sign he could be edging closer, though nothing suggests he is near a return to full team training just yet.

Impact Kudus sitting out the MK Dons friendly came as no surprise, with reports five days out already indicating he remained away from team training on a separate rehab track. His recovery from the January quad injury already suffered one setback in April, which cost him the World Cup. He has been shown working intensively with strength and conditioning coaches, with high-intensity twisting and turning movements that hint he could be edging closer, though nothing suggests he's near team training just yet.

JULY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Returns for preseason training Kudus (quadriceps) has returned to training with Tottenham Hotspur as preseason gets underway, the club posted.

Impact Kudus missed the World Cup with Ghana and the end of last season after suffering a setback in his recovery from a quadriceps issue that had sidelined him since January. His return to training marks a positive step after a frustrating conclusion to a campaign in which he had produced three goals and five assists across 24 appearances before the injury struck. Tottenham will be aiming to have him build up fitness steadily through preseason after the lengthy layoff. Kudus is expected to be reintegrated gradually as the club monitors his workload in training.

Won't play at World Cup Kudus (quadriceps) wasn't been included in Ghana's World Cup squad and will now focus on a full recovery ahead of the 2026/27 season, the Ghana FA announced.

Impact Kudus had been ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering a setback in his recovery from the quadriceps issue that has kept him sidelined since Jan. 4, making his omission from the Black Stars squad an unfortunate but expected outcome. The midfielder ends the campaign with three goals and five assists across 24 appearances in all competitions before the injury struck, and Tottenham will be hoping to have him fully fit and available from the very start of next season after a deeply frustrating end to what had otherwise been a productive individual campaign.

Impact Kudus suffered a setback when he was close to returning from an injury which has prevented him from playing since Jan. 4. It is now increasingly possible that he'll also be absent for Ghana in the World Cup if he continues to struggle with the issue. The talented midfielder finished the season with three goals and five assists across 24 matches played in all competitions. Players like Conor Gallagher, Lucas Bergvall and Xavi Simons will remain in contention for starts with Kudus unavailable going forward.

Impact 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.
