Overview
- Tottenham said Thursday that Mohammed Kudus suffered a setback in his return from a January quad injury and will now undergo specialist assessment that could lead to surgery.
- The Ghana winger had rejoined team training last week after three months out, but the club has not set a new timetable as it waits for the medical review.
- Media accounts differ on whether the fresh problem involves his quad or hamstring, yet several reports cite roughly three months on the sidelines that could end his season and put his World Cup place in doubt.
- The loss deepens problems for Roberto De Zerbi’s side, who sit 17th in the Premier League one point above the relegation zone with seven matches left.
- Kudus, a £55 million signing from West Ham, has been one of Spurs’ main creators this season, including two league goals and five assists reported by Reuters.
