Tottenham's Mohammed Kudus returned to the starting lineup after a 257-day absence, making an impact in the Carabao Cup third-round match against Liverpool at Anfield. The 26-year-old Ghanaian forward, who had not started a game for Tottenham in the past three months, demonstrated his form during the 75 minutes he was on the field.
Despite his energetic performance, Kudus fell short of converting a crucial opportunity in the 32nd minute, missing the target from close range. The match ended with Tottenham trailing 1-0, and Kudus was substituted by new signing Savio after 75 minutes. The elimination of Tottenham from the competition came after Liverpool's victory, which finished 3-1 at the iconic Anfield stadium.
The return of Kudus to the starting XI is expected to bring positive news for Ghana, with the player set to feature in Carlos Queiroz's squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia.
