TOTTENHAM and Ghana star Mohammed Kudus is in Amsterdam to see a specialist as he bids to return from the hamstring injury he suffered in January.
The Spurs midfielder has not kicked a ball since pulling up in the clash against Sunderland.
The SunSport reports that Kudus has travelled back to Amsterdam to consult a trusted expert from his time at Ajax.
Sources say the specialist is the same one who helped Kudus recover from a knee injury sustained while playing for Ajax against Liverpool in the Champions League in 2020.
Kudus has remained close to the medic ever since and requested permission from Spurs to undergo treatment with him as he steps up his recovery.
The Ghana international joined Tottenham last summer from West Ham in a £55million deal and quickly established himself as one of the club’s most dangerous attacking threats under the now-sacked Thomas Frank.
His absence has been keenly felt, with the 25-year-old missing the club’s last nine matches.
However, the former West Ham star is targeting a return to full team training after the March international break.
There is also significant interest in his recovery from Ghana, with the national side closely monitoring his progress ahead of this year’s World Cup.
The Black Stars are set to face England in the group stage, and Kudus is considered a key figure in their plans.
Alongside Manchester City forward Antoine Semenyo, he is regarded as one of the leading faces of the Ghana squad.
The Ghana Football Association are even planning to visit Kudus to gain a first-hand update on the expected timeline of his comeback.
Tottenham’s medical staff remain in contact with their counterparts in Amsterdam as they oversee the player’s rehabilitation programme.
Kudus is understood to be responding well to treatment and is determined to return stronger for the run-in.
His pace, power and eye for goal have been sorely missed during a crucial stretch of the campaign.
When he does make his comeback, Kudus will do so under a new manager following Thomas Frank’s sacking last week.
Whoever takes charge will need to find a way to keep Kudus, along with the likes of Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur and Kevin Danso fit and off the treatment table as Spurs push to return as a top six side.
