Fresh Disaster for Mohammed Kudus as Ghana Fails to Qualify for AFCON
West Ham United’s Mohammed Kudus has suffered a fresh setback after Ghana’s disappointing performance in the AFCON qualifiers. The Black Stars lost 2-0 to Sudan, eliminating them from the competition for the first time in 20 years.
Kudus, who was named captain of Ghana for the double header, missed crucial chances in the match, prompting concerns among fans. Some have even claimed that Kudus has been cursed after being handed the number 10 shirt.
This latest development will be a worry for West Ham, who rely heavily on Kudus’ skills and creativity. The 23-year-old has had a tough season so far, scoring only one goal in the 4-1 win over Ipswich before the international break.
West Ham’s Focus on Kudus’ Return
With the crucial match against Tottenham Hotspur fast approaching, West Ham is keen to get Kudus back to east London as soon as possible. The Hammers will go above Spurs in the table if they secure a win, piling pressure on Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou.
Although no special arrangements have been made to ensure Kudus’ swift return, West Ham is keeping a close eye on their star player. Kudus’ availability and readiness will be crucial to West Ham’s hopes of securing a victory.
Tottenham’s Injury Concerns
Meanwhile, Tottenham is dealing with its own injury concerns. Brennan Johnson came off injured while playing for Wales, and Lucas Bergvall was forced to withdraw from Sweden’s squad. The availability of Son Heung-Min and Richarlison remains uncertain.
West Ham’s Injury Update
West Ham striker Niclas Fullkrug is still out with an Achilles and calf injury, and it’s unlikely he’ll recover in time for the Spurs match. The club is being coy about claims that Fullkrug may require surgery.
Key Matchup
The matchup between West Ham and Tottenham promises to be intense, with both teams vying for crucial points. West Ham will rely on Kudus and Jarrod Bowen to deliver a top performance and secure a win.
In other news, West Ham has won a significant battle off the pitch against Tottenham, which may have long-term implications.
As the Premier League resumes, West Ham fans will be eagerly awaiting Kudus’ return and the crucial matchup against Tottenham. Will Kudus bounce back from his disappointing performance with Ghana, or will Tottenham’s injury concerns give West Ham the upper hand?
