Mohammed Kudus return date locked in – this is when he could be back for Tottenham
Mohammed Kudus could return for Tottenham in the near future.
A report from The Sun on 13 February claims that the 25-year-old is in Amsterdam to see a specialist to help him recover from his Hamstring injury.
It states that Kudus, who has been out since suffering the problem in Tottenham‘s Premier League clash with West Ham in January, is targeting the March international break for a comeback.
It was a huge blow for Thomas Frank, who has now been sacked after a miserable run of results at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
When will Kudus actually be back?
Just because he is targeting a return, it does not mean that he will be back in action after the international break next month.
For starters, there could be setbacks in his recovery, and he may face even longer on the sidelines than originally expected.
The report states that the Ghanaian is planning to return to first team training then, but it usually takes longer to actually play after coming back into the squad.
Therefore, an April return seems like the most likely option for the former Ajax man.
Why Tottenham need Kudus to be back as soon as possible
Kudus is one of the best players in North London, capable of changing a game on his own with his directness and dribbling ability.
He started his career with the Lilywhites in brilliant fashion with two goals and six assists in 19 league appearances.
The new manager, whoever it is, will be buzzing to have Kudus back in the mix, although, he would be wise to take it easy with his return to action.
Spurs need him back as quickly as possible, in order to have the best possible chance of getting themselves out of relegation danger.
Wilson Odobert and Richarlison’s absences make it even more imperative to have the 46-cap international back on the pitch.
However, they cannot rush the former West Ham man back, as that could aggravate his issue, and keep him on the sidelines for even longer.
It will be a fine balance, but they need to get him back on the pitch before the end of the campaign.
