Julen Lopetegui uncertain over Mohammed Kudus' involvement in West Ham's upcoming match

West Ham United manager, Julen Lopetegui, has hinted at uncertainty regarding the involvement of Mohammed Kudus in the team’s upcoming Premier League clash against Leicester City on Tuesday, December 3, 2024.

The Ghanaian forward, who recently completed a five-match suspension, is now available for selection.

However, Lopetegui kept his options open during his pre-match press conference and did not confirm whether Kudus would be included in the starting lineup.

“Let’s see what’s going to happen with [Mohammed Kudus]. We’re not going to talk about the line-up,” Lopetegui said, while acknowledging that Kudus is ready and working well after his time off.

“It’s true that he’s now available after being out for a long time, too.

He’s ready, working well, and happy to be back, which is good news for us because we have a lot of upcoming matches in a row. It’s a good thing we have as many options as possible for these games.”

The match against Leicester City will take place at the King Power Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 8:15 pm.

West Ham will be looking to continue their strong form with the return of Kudus and other key players for this crucial Premier League encounter.
