World Cup 2026 World Cup: Mohammed Kudus’ injury is frustrating - Antoine Semenyo
FRI, 17 APR 2026

Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo has expressed concern over the potential absence of teammate Mohammed Kudus ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Kudus, who plays for Tottenham Hotspur, could reportedly require surgery after suffering an injury set back.

This could rule him out of the global tournament set to be hosted across the United States, Mexico and Canada this summer.

Speaking about the situation, Semenyo admitted the news has been frustrating for the team, describing Kudus as a crucial figure in the Ghana national football team setup.

“We have a lot of experience going into the World Cup, but Mohammed Kudus’ injury is frustrating because he is a pivotal factor in the team,” Semenyo said.

Kudus was one of Ghana’s standout performers at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, scoring two goals and providing an assist in the Black Stars’ three group-stage matches.

The Black Stars will compete at their fifth World Cup in Group L, opening their campaign against Panama on June 17, before facing England on June 23 and Croatia on June 27.

After early exits in 2014 and 2022, Queiroz faces the task of restoring stability and guiding Ghana to a stronger performance on the global stage.
