Tottenham Hotspur striker Mohamed Kudus will miss next month’s World Cup due to injury after being dropped from Ghana’s 28-man preliminary squad named by Carlos Queiroz, beIN Sports reports.
Kudus, who scored 13 goals in 46 international appearances, suffered a quadriceps injury in January and was expected to return in March.
However, the 25-year-old striker suffered a setback in his recovery and has not played a game since Thomas Frank has coached Tottenham.
Kudus, who joined from West Ham United in the off-season, has made 19 Premier League appearances for Spurs this season and has scored two goals.
Veteran coach Queiroz will report to Manchester City’s Antoine Semenyo and Athletic Club striker Iñaki Williams, while PAOK’s former Chelsea defender Abdul Rahman Baba has been called up for the first time since 2023.
Ghana has been drawn into Group L along with Croatia, England and Panama.
