Mohammed Kudus closing in on Tottenham return after injury setback
Mohammed Kudus is closing in on a return to action for Tottenham Hotspur as he enters the final stages of his rehabilitation
Tottenham Hotspur defender Mohammed Kudus is nearing a return to action following a quadriceps injury that forced him out since January. The Ghanaian international had been projected to be back in April, but a setback in his rehabilitation delayed his comeback. Kudus, 26, initially aimed to sidestep surgery to be ready for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but eventually required surgery, which further extended his recovery period.
The talented forward has been gradually returning to training, resuming light individual sessions at the beginning of August. Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi expressed optimism about Kudus' progress, stating that he is almost ready, which significantly benefits the club. However, De Zerbi emphasized the importance of cautious player management to avoid any unnecessary risks.
Kudus may return ahead of the next international break, beginning after Tottenham's home game against Aston Villa on September 19. Prior to that, the team will play Nottingham Forest on September 5 and Everton on September 12. A return would be a significant boost for De Zerbi, who is eager to regain Kudus' creativity and attacking prowess in the squad.
Despite this positive news, Kudus must still complete his ongoing rehabilitation and build up his match fitness before being considered for a competitive comeback.
