Ghana international Mohammed Kudus suffered an injury setback while in action for Tottenham Hotpsur against Sunderland on Saturday.
Kudus was forced off in the first half in the highly competitive Premier League clash between Spurs and Sunderland, held at the Tottenham Stadium.
The Ghanaian attacker went down shortly after just 15th minutes and had to be replaced by Randal Kolo Muani, with head coach Thomas Frank left to reshuffle his attack.
The Tottenham boss was already dealing with limited options on the right flank following Brennan Johnson’s move to Crystal Palace earlier in the week, forcing the Paris Saint-Germain loanee to operate out of position.
Kudus was able to walk off the pitch, with initial signs suggesting a muscular problem, believed to be related to his adductor.
Meanwhile, the former West Ham United star is expected to undergo further assessment to determine the extent of the injury.
The 25-year-old has been a regular figure for Spurs this season, starting all but one Premier League match. He has recorded two goals and six assists in the league and remains a key part of Frank’s plans, despite modest numbers in front of goal.
Kudus joined Tottenham in the summer from West Ham United for £55 million on a six-year deal and has produced seven goal contributions in 18 league appearances so far.
