Mohammed Kudus Injury Update
Mohammed Kudus is back in the mix for Tottenham Hotspur, just in time for the high-stakes North London Derby against Arsenal this Sunday. The Ghanaian star, who joined Spurs from West Ham in the summer transfer window, has been sidelined by a nagging knock that forced him to miss the last two matches before the international break against Copenhagen in the Europa League and Manchester United in the Premier League.
It was a frustrating setback for a player who's quickly become a key creative force in Ange Postecoglou's attacking setup. On X, Owuraku Ampofo (@_owurakuampofo) confirmed that Mohammed Kudus is fit and will be available for the match against Arsenal this weekend.
The good news broke on Thursday, November 20, when Kudus was spotted back on the training pitch with his teammates at Hotspur Way. Reports confirm he completed a full session without issues, putting to rest any lingering doubts about his readiness. On X, #JoySports (@JoySportsGH) reported that Mohammed Kudus is training well and will be available to face Arsenal on Sunday after recovering from his injury, according to Tottenham boss Thomas Frank.
Tottenham's medical team has given him the green light, and he's expected to be available for selection. While it's unclear if he'll start Postecoglou might ease him in, given the derby intensity his return adds serious firepower to a Spurs side that's relied heavily on his pace, dribbling, and eye for goal.
Kudus's absence highlighted how integral he's become since his £50 million move. In his debut season at Tottenham, he's notched one goal and three assists in just eight appearances, often terrorizing defenses from the right wing or as a No. 10. That knock, described as minor but persistent, dates back to late October, and it robbed fans of seeing him in full flight during a crucial run of fixtures. For the Black Stars faithful, it's a relief too Kudus skipped Ghana's recent internationals to focus on rehab, ensuring no risk of aggravation.
Looking ahead, this derby could be the perfect stage for Kudus to shake off any rust. Arsenal's backline, led by a resurgent William Saliba, will test him, but his direct style could unlock spaces for Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson. If he features, expect fireworks; Kudus thrives in big games, as seen in his Ajax days and early West Ham exploits. Spurs, sitting mid-table and chasing European spots, desperately need his spark to ignite a post-break surge.
