Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has delivered a triple injury update, including Mohammed Kudus being ruled out until after the March international break with a quad issue
Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank has confirmed that Mohammed Kudus is set to be sidelined until after the March international break due to a quad injury.
The Ghanaian international went down off the ball during the weekend's 1-1 draw with Sunderland, with scans revealing the 25-year-old sustained damage to his quad. Frank also confirmed that Rodrigo Bentancur picked up a hamstring injury in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth, whilst Lucas Bergvall is awaiting assessment after suffering a knock in the same match.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, the Spurs manager said: "Lucas is being assessed today. We'll know more later today with him.
"Same with Rodri. Rodri is a hamstring injury, looks like a bigger one. We don't know the extent yet.
"Kudus is a bigger one, to the tendon and quad, and don't expect him back until after the March international break.
"With Dejan Kulusevski, we know it's a complicated injury.
"If anyone can come back quicker it's Deki. The most important thing is to remove the pain in the knee and he got an injection 10 days ago and we'll know in 3-4 weeks whether that has settled and then he can get back on the grass."
Bentancur and Bergvall both started Wednesday's encounter at Bournemouth, but the Uruguayan was withdrawn with four minutes remaining, whilst the Swedish midfielder was taken off just before the hour mark.
Kudus, on the other hand, was forced to leave the pitch in the first half against Sunderland on Sunday and is expected to be sidelined until April.
The March international break commences on March 28, so Kudus might return for the match against Sunderland on April 11.
This means that Kudus is likely to miss Spurs' upcoming 13 matches, which include Premier League showdowns with Man City, Man United and Arsenal, as well as Champions League fixtures against Dortmund and Frankfurt.
