Mohammed Kudus was forced off in the first half of Tottenham Hotspurs Premier League clash against Sunderland after picking up an injury concern.The Ghanaian attacker went down shortly after the 15th minute, clutching the upper part of his left leg, raising immediate concern among teammates. Midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur was quick to signal to the bench that Kudus could not continue, prompting an early change.Kudus was replaced by Randal Kolo Muani, with head coach Thomas Frank left to reshuffle his attack. The Tottenham boss was already dealing with limited options on the right flank following Brennan Johnsons move to Crystal Palace earlier in the week, forcing the Paris Saint-Germain loanee to operate out of position.Although Kudus was able to walk off the pitch, initial signs suggested a muscular problem, believed to be related to his adductor. Further assessment is expected to determine the extent of the injury.The 25-year-old has been a regular figure for Spurs this season, starting all but one Premier League match. He has recorded two goals and six assists in the league and remains a key part of Franks plans, despite modest numbers in front of goal.Kudus joined Tottenham in the summer from West Ham United for 55 million on a six-year deal and has produced seven goal contributions in 18 league appearances so far.
