Uncertainty surrounds Mohammed Kudus ahead of the qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations with Ghana's Black Stars.

Roberto De Zerbi, the coach of Tottenham Hotspur, has expressed doubts about the midfielder's ability to meet the demands of the Ghanaian national team, highlighting a clear lack of competitive rhythm.

After a long absence from the pitch since January 2026 due to injury, the 25-year-old international has started to regain some playing time in recent weeks. He made his return to the field against Newcastle United at the end of last month, before participating in matches against Nottingham Forest and Everton.

Despite these three consecutive appearances as a substitute, the Spurs coach believes the player has not yet returned to his best physical form. This caution from the London management may lead the Ghanaian coach to be wary before fielding his key player in the upcoming continental matches.
