Hey, remember how cool it was that Tottenham Hotspur winger Mohammed Kudus was set to return from a quad injury during this three week break from football and he was going to save our season and make sure that we didn’t get relegated?
Welp.
Football.London’s Alasdair Gold noted that Kudus hasn’t been seen in training at all for the past while, and reports that the Ghanaian winger has suffered a setback in his injury. There are no details, but check out this juicy bit of gossip:
However, Kudus is yet
to appear in any footage from training and football.london understands that the Ghana star has faced a setback with his quad although the extent is unclear. There are some suggestions that an operation may be required and if so that could potentially place the remainder of his Premier League season and World Cup participation in doubt. Ghana face England as well as Croatia and Panama in their group at the showpiece tournament this summer.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
No seriously you just can’t make this stuff up, and if you can’t laugh now you’re probably crying. I’m not a “blame the physios” kind of guy (and think they get way too much shit for stuff that’s probably out of their control) but how many times over the past two seasons have we had a player get hurt and then either have a setback and is out longer than expected and/or his injury was misdiagnosed leading to a longer recovery time? I attribute it to just stupid bad luck, but if that were the case you’d think the luck would turn eventually, right?
Look, I’m not this site’s biggest Mohammed Kudus fan, obviously, but having him available would’ve been a HUGE boost for the club heading into a critical away match against Sunderland this Sunday. (“Sundayerland?” I’m still working on it.) Now it looks like it’s the usual cast of players available in attack — Matthys Tel, Richarlison, Dominic Solanke, Xavi Simons. Spurs still have ten players out with injuries, most of them long-term.
