Kudus set to miss Ghana–Germany pre-world cup friendly due to injury
9th January 2026
Ghana midfielder Mohamed Kudus will miss the Black Stars’ pre-World Cup friendly against Germany after it was confirmed he will be sidelined until April with injury.
The 24-year-old picked up the problem while playing for Tottenham Hotspur in their match against Sunderland, and further assessment has ruled him out for the coming weeks.
The news is a blow for both club and country, with Kudus expected to be a key figure for Ghana as preparations continue for major international commitments later in the year.
His absence means he will not be available for the high-profile friendly against Germany, a match seen as an important test for the Black Stars as they build towards the World Cup.
While the full details of the injury have not been disclosed, sources close to the player have confirmed that he will not return to action until April, with his focus now on recovery and rehabilitation.
Ghana’s technical team will be monitoring Kudus’ progress closely, hopeful that he can regain full fitness in time for the latter part of the season and upcoming international fixtures.
For now, the priority remains ensuring a complete recovery, as both Spurs and Ghana look to avoid any long-term setbacks for one of their most influential players.
