Mohammed Kudus was a crucial player in my plans - Tottenham boss De Zerbi
Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham Hotspur head coach, conceded that the absence of Mohammed Kudus is a major setback to his plans as the club battles to avoid relegation from the Premier League. He said, "Kudus was in my head a crucial player, especially for the position, but we have to look forward anyway."
Kudus, a Ghana international, is expected to miss the remainder of the season after suffering a fresh injury setback. He had been sidelined since January and was initially pencilled in for a return this month, but the latest development has delayed his comeback indefinitely. De Zerbi described Kudus as central to his tactical vision, explaining that the 25-year-old's versatility made him a key figure in linking midfield to attack. De Zerbi added, "I think we have a lot of very good attackers and we have to help them, to put them in the best condition to show their qualities."
Kudus is set to consult a specialist, with surgery now a possibility-raising concerns over his availability for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.
