LONDON (AP) — Ghana international Mohammed Kudus' hopes for a return from a quad injury before the World Cup have taken a hit with Tottenham confirming the forward might need surgery.
The 25-year-old Kudus was expected to miss three months after getting injured in early January during Tottenham’s 1-1 draw with Sunderland — as then-Ghana coach Otto Addo watched.
The club confirmed Kudus “suffered a setback in his return from injury.”
“He had returned to team training during the past week, however will now require further specialist review and, potentially, surgery,” the club said in a statement. “We will provide any relevant further updates in due course. We’re all with you, Mo.”
Kudus joined Spurs last summer from West Ham for a reported fee of 55 million pounds ($75 million). He's scored three goals in 26 total appearances this season.
On Friday, new Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi said he considered Kudus “a crucial player, especially for the position, but we have to look forward anyway.” Relegation-threatened Tottenham visits Sunderland on Sunday.
At the World Cup, Ghana plays its opening Group L game against Panama on June 17 in Toronto. The Black Stars then face England on June 23 in Foxborough and Croatia on June 27 in Philadelphia.
At the 2022 edition in Qatar, Kudus scored twice in Ghana's 3-2 win over South Korea. It was Ghana's only victory as it finished last in its group.

NEEDHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 2026--
SharkNinja, Inc. (NYSE: SN), the global product design and technology company, this month launched the Ninja SLUSHi® Twist, a dual-vessel frozen drink machine built for the problem every host faces: not everyone wants the same thing. Two 48-oz vessels run at the same time. Keep one side for mocktails and one for cocktails, run two completely different flavors, or twist both together in a single swirled drink. No second batch. No group vote. Everyone gets what they want because the best moments with friends and family shouldn't come with compromises.

Double the technology, double the SLUSHi
Dual SlushAssist™ Technology powers each side independently, sensing ingredients and setting ideal conditions with a single button press. The Twist makes 10+ drinks 1 per batch per side across frappes, frozen margaritas, frosé, milkshakes and more. The Ninja SLUSHi® XL, which also launched this season, delivers 2x the capacity and 2x the speed of the original SLUSHi 2 for larger batches of one flavor.
“SLUSHi became a viral sensation after launching in 2024, with consumers constantly sharing their creations online,” said Kait Hebert, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Ninja. “With SLUSHi Twist, we wanted to introduce something different for fans, a new way to mix flavors, customize drinks and keep the conversation going all summer long.”
Sipping all summer, especially on Sundays
Double the SLUSHi means double the fun this summer and savoring every moment of it. And since eighty percent of working Americans report experiencing Sunday Scaries 3, the creeping dread that hits as the weekend winds down, the new SLUSHi Twist is here to save the day. Ninja is on a mission to bring the fun back to Sundays this summer and turn them into something worth looking forward to, and who better to help than Snooki and JWoww.
The duo who made Sunday Fundays legendary on the shore, is partnering with Ninja on a limited-edition SLUSHi Sundays kit and exclusive recipe designed to make Sunday the best part of the week. Snooki and JWoww each created a signature recipe built to run side-by-side on the Twist. Snooki's Pickleback SLUSHi - pickles, pickle juice, and Irish whiskey - runs on one side. JWoww's Passionfruit Margarita SLUSHi - tequila, triple sec, passionfruit juice, lime, and agave - runs on the other.
