Tottenham Hotspur receive major injury boost as forward returns to training

Tottenham Hotspur receive major injury boost as forward returns to training Tottenham Boost as Mohammed Kudus Returns to Training Before Newcastle Clash Tottenham have finally been given some decent news on the injury front. Mohammed Kudus returned to first-team training this morning, and that matters, because Spurs need more from the final third and they need it quickly. The Ghana international has been out since January after suffering a thigh injury against Sunderland. His rehabilitation had already moved up a level earlier this month, and now he is back working with the squad. That puts him in the frame for Saturday’s Premier League meeting with Newcastle United. Mohammed Kudus Nears Tottenham Return The decision now sits with Roberto De Zerbi. Does he throw Kudus straight into the matchday squad, or does he wait a little longer? That depends on sharpness, fitness and risk. What is clear is that having him available again changes the conversation around Tottenham’s attacking options. Kudus made 19 Premier League appearances last season, scoring two goals and supplying five assists. Those are not spectacular numbers, but they point to a player capable of unsettling defenders and creating moments Spurs have lacked.

James Maddison, Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro are also expected back next month. Not everything is positive. Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert remain long-term absentees, and that continues to limit depth in key areas. Newcastle Test Comes at Right Time Tottenham opened the Premier League season badly, losing 3-0 to Brentford. They responded with a 5-1 win over Charlton Athletic in the League Cup, which settled nerves but solved nothing long term. Saturday is the real test. Spurs need a response in the league, and Kudus, even if only involved from the bench, could give them the directness and unpredictability they have been missing.
