Ghanaian footballer Mohammed Kudus returned from a seven-month injury layoff as Tottenham Hotspur faced a 2-0 home defeat to Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday. The 26-year-old midfielder came on as a substitute in the 68th minute, replacing Mathys Tel for his first competitive game since returning from a knee injury he sustained against Sunderland in January 2026.
Kudus showed promise during his brief appearance, managing to complete 11 of his 13 passes, registering 24 touches, completing his only dribble, and making two ball recoveries. However, he failed to find the back of the net, as his only shot was blocked by the Newcastle goalkeeper. Kudus had been sidelined for 25 matches across all competitions, including Ghana’s participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, due to his injury.
The defeat marked Tottenham's second consecutive loss of the new season, following a 3-0 opening-day loss to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium. Kudus may make his first start since his return when Tottenham travels to Nottingham Forest next weekend.
