Tottenham fans are all set to see the summer signing feature for the first team once again following his long injury lay-off.
Oh, how Tottenham have missed Mohammed Kudus during the most crucial part of the season. The Lilywhites have been without their star player for almost three months following an injury the Ghanaian suffered during the January transfer window. It could not have come at a worse time for the North Londoners, considering that the club had just sold his direct competition, Brennan Johnson, just days before Kudus’ injury.
It has been a season to forget for Spurs, who are hovering just a point above the relegation zone in the Premier League. They have struggled to find form and are yet to win a single league game since the turn of the year. Their last victory came against Crystal Palace in December, where Mohammed Kudus played a crucial role in ensuring that the Lilywhites returned home with all three points.
Now that Roberto De Zerbi has been appointed as Spurs’ head coach for the remainder of the season, it is important that some of the key players step up in their bid to help the Lilywhites avoid relegation. The Italian tactician will also hope to have all his key players available for the crucial game against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. Only then will the North Londoners be able to maintain their top-flight status for next season.
Mohammed Kudus could feature for Tottenham in the next game
Tottenham are set to receive a significant injury boost, with £55 million summer signing Mohammed Kudus on the verge of rejoining the first-team squad following a lengthy lay-off. It is important that the Ghanaian makes an immediate impact for the Lilywhites and helps the club avoid relegation this season. He is expected to play a crucial role under Roberto De Zerbi, featuring prominently on the right wing for the North Londoners once he returns to full fitness in the coming days.
With Spurs set to face Sunderland in the coming days, it is important that Roberto De Zerbi names a strong starting eleven to deal with the attacking threat posed by the Black Cats. Club insider Paul O’Keefe (via Spurs Army) has reported that Mohammed Kudus is ‘supposed’ to be fit for the upcoming clash at the Stadium of Light. The Ghanaian has stepped up his recovery and could be in line to make a timely return for the Lilywhites in the coming days.
De Zerbi should not hesitate to include Mohammed Kudus in the starting eleven if he is fully fit. The Ghanaian has enjoyed an excellent individual campaign for the Lilywhites this season, playing a key role in the final third. His direct approach and ability to break down compact defences make him a significant attacking threat. It is therefore crucial that the North Londoners utilise him regularly from now until the end of the season.
Kudus’ injury lay-off came at the worst possible time for the Lilywhites in January. Spurs have clearly struggled to fill the void left by the Ghanaian in recent months, with other players finding it difficult to replicate his impact. Wilson Odobert, his direct replacement, had begun to impress before suffering an injury setback. However, the Frenchman recently ruptured his ACL, leaving the North Londoners without a natural right-winger in the squad.
Will we see Mohammed Kudus return to first-team action for Spurs in the coming days? Only time will tell.
