Black Stars midfielder Mohammed Kudus has been ruled out of Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League clash with Liverpool on Sunday March 15, 2026, with the Ghanaian still sidelined by the thigh injury that has kept him out for two months.

The 25-year-old creative spark is one of 13 first-team players unavailable for the trip to Anfield, leaving Spurs with a threadbare squad as they take on the reigning champions. Kudus has not featured since sustaining the setback in early January, and his absence is expected to extend beyond the upcoming international break.

Tottenham head coach Igor Tudor delivered a stark rallying call to his depleted squad ahead of the daunting fixture.

"You can cry or you can fight," Tudor told his players.

The interim boss, still searching for his first win since taking charge, faces an unprecedented selection crisis. Alongside Kudus, Spurs will be without several key players due to injuries and suspensions, leaving them severely weakened for the Anfield encounter.

Kudus's continued absence also raises serious doubts over his availability for Ghana's upcoming international friendlies against Austria on March 27 and Germany on March 30. The Black Stars will be monitoring his recovery closely ahead of the World Cup.

In his first season at Tottenham since joining from West Ham, Kudus has registered three goals and six assists in 26 appearances across all competitions. Spurs currently languish in 16th place in the Premier League standings.

Their weekend opponents Liverpool sit sixth and will be looking to capitalise on Tottenham's injury woes at Anfield.
