Mohammed Kudus has decided not to undergo surgery for his latest injury, despite Tottenham Hotspur’s medical staff recommending it.

The Ghana international is now dealing with a new hamstring injury after already missing time since January because of a quadriceps problem. This latest setback has ended his season.

Tottenham’s medical team reportedly recommended surgery after specialist evaluations, believing it was the best way for him to fully recover. However, Kudus has chosen to try rehabilitation without surgery.

He made this decision because he is concerned that surgery would mean a longer recovery and could hurt his chances of playing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Kudus still hopes to be ready for the tournament, but questions remain about his fitness. He has been an important player for the Black Stars in recent years, so his situation worries the technical team.

Both his club and country now face a tough choice: balancing his long-term health with the need to ensure he is ready for the World Cup.

Kudus will continue his recovery with close medical supervision. How well he progresses will decide if he can get back to full fitness before the World Cup.
