202y Women’s Cup: Black Stars Suffer Major Injury Blow

Tottenham Hotspur striker Mohamed Kudus will miss next month’s World Cup after being omitted from Ghana’s preliminary 28‑man squad announced by coach Carlos Queiroz, according to beIN Sports.

Kudus, who has scored 13 goals in 46 international caps, sustained a quadriceps injury in January and was expected to return in March. The 25‑year‑old has suffered a setback in his recovery and has not appeared in a match since Thomas Frank took over at Tottenham.

After moving from West Ham United in the off‑season, Kudus has made 19 Premier League appearances for Spurs this season, finding the net twice.

Queiroz will instead call on Manchester City’s Antoine Semenyo and Athletic Club forward Inaki Williams, while PAOK’s former Chelsea defender Abdul Rahman Baba has been recalled for the first time since 2023.

Ghana is drawn in Group L with Croatia, England and Panama.
