Tottenham Hotspur welcome Mohammed Kudus back to training ahead of Sunderland away, but fans may have to be patient.While Tottenham are still missing a lot of players due to injury, the club’s injury situation is looking better than it has for much of the last few months.The expectation is that Mathys Tel and Pape Sarr will be fit to take to the field against Sunderland, even though both players withdrew from international duty due to injury.It has now emerged that Tottenham could also be boosted by the return of one of their most important attackers for their clash at the Stadium of Light.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramMohammed Kudus has returned to Tottenham trainingMohammed Kudus has been out with a hamstring injury since January, and the expectation was that the Tottenham winger would return to action later this month.However, Football.London have now revealed that the Ghana international has been pictured in first-team training ahead of Tottenham’s trip to the North East.That raises the possibility that De Zerbi could have Kudus to call upon as he looks to guide Tottenham to their first league win of the calendar year this Sunday.However, the report adds that Kudus was originally expected to miss the games against Sunderland and Brighton, so it remains to be seen whether he is thrown straight back into the squad.Spurs fans will eagerly be awaiting to hear what the new Tottenham boss has to say about the 25-year-old’s fitness in his first press conference on Friday.The numbers show that Spurs have desperately missed KudusThe data suggests that it is not a coincidence that Tottenham’s form dropped off a cliff after the former West Ham player got injured.Kudus is still near the top of the tree for many attacking metrics for Spurs this season, even though he has missed over three months of football.He has created the third most chances of any Spurs player in the league (23), behind only Pedro Porro (37) and Xavi Simons (30). Kudus also has the joint highest successful dribbles per 90 minutes (3) and has completed 22 dribbles more than any other Tottenham player, despite being sidelined since January.His return would certainly hugely improve Tottenham’s effectiveness in the final third and serve as a huge boost to the club’s hopes of staying up.READ MORE: Tottenham ratings snub Archie Gray: FotMob average has Spurs star down in 15thThe post Tottenham receive good news and bad news as Mohammed Kudus returns to training appeared first on Spurs Web.
