Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has confirmed a significant injury blow for his squad, with attacking midfielder Mohammed Kudus set for an extended spell on the sidelines.
The Ghanaian international was forced off during the early stages of their match against Sunderland.
Providing an update ahead of the team’s FA Cup clash with Aston Villa, Frank delivered unwelcome news.
“Kudus is unfortunately a bigger one to the tendon in the quad, so that’s one where we expect him back after the March international break,” Frank stated.
The March international break runs from March 23rd to 31st. This timeline means Kudus is likely to miss several key fixtures, including the Premier League match against Nottingham Forest on March 21st.
His expected return would come in early April, potentially aligning with the weekend of the FA Cup quarter-finals, scheduled for April 2nd and 3rd, should Tottenham Hotspur progress.
The loss of Kudus is a major setback for Spurs.
The dynamic attacker has been a key contributor this season, and his absence will require other players to step up in the coming months. The club will now focus on his recovery process with the aim of having him return to full fitness in April.
