All games Mohammed Kudus could miss as Tottenham hit with another crushing injury blow

Mohammed Kudus has suffered a serious quad tendon injury that will rule him out until after the March international break, dealing Tottenham another major blow amid an already stretched squad.

The 25-year-old Ghana international picked up the problem in the recent draw with Sunderland, going down off the ball before being forced off early. Manager Thomas Frank confirmed that scans have revealed significant tendon damage in the quad, requiring an extended period of rehabilitation rather than a short-term layoff.

Kudus, signed for a substantial fee in the summer and an increasingly important figure in Spurs’ attack, has contributed goals and assists in the Premier League and was seen as a key part of Frank’s plans. His absence leaves Tottenham short of creativity and goal threat in advanced areas at a crucial point in the season.

Based on the expected return date, Kudus is set to miss a run of fixtures across league and cup competitions. This likely includes multiple Premier League matches in the battle for league position, as well as at least one FA Cup tie and any further domestic cup involvement that falls before early April. The schedule intensifies during this period, meaning Spurs will be without him for a congested and potentially decisive stretch of the campaign.

Frank described the news as a “bigger one” in terms of injury severity and acknowledged that Tottenham will have to adapt tactically and rely on alternative options in wide and attacking midfield roles. With other players in the squad also managing fitness issues, Kudus’ layoff compounds Tottenham’s selection problems and raises fresh questions over their depth and resilience going into the spring.
