MAJOR CONCERN! Kudus Missing from Spurs Training as Doubts Grow Ahead of Sunderland Clash

Fresh footage from Tottenham’s training ground has sparked concern after Mohammed Kudus was notably absent, while Mathys Tel was seen back in action—raising questions ahead of the crucial clash with Sunderland.
Roberto De Zerbi took charge of his first Tottenham training session on Good Friday, having been appointed earlier in the week. The Italian wasted no time stepping into the role, with the club eager for him to immediately steer them away from relegation danger. However, his opening session highlighted a worrying absence.
Tottenham are entering a critical run of seven matches, sitting perilously close to the drop zone ahead of their meeting with Sunderland. The pressure is mounting, especially with Spurs having failed to register a league win since their victory over Crystal Palace in late December. Previous managers, including Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor, were hampered by injuries, and De Zerbi will be hoping for a change in fortune as he looks to revive the team’s form.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the club’s position, De Zerbi’s five-year contract reportedly contains no relegation release clause, and he has already confirmed his commitment to remain in charge next season regardless of the outcome.
There had been optimism surrounding Mohammed Kudus, particularly given De Zerbi’s previous interest in signing him during his time at Brighton. However, the Ghanaian midfielder’s absence from training has raised fresh concerns. Kudus has been sidelined since sustaining a hamstring injury against Sunderland in early January, and although a return was expected soon, his current status remains unclear—though there is still time for him to regain fitness before the reverse fixture.
On a brighter note, Mathys Tel’s return to training comes as a significant boost. The young forward had picked up a hip injury during the defeat to Nottingham Forest, but his swift recovery suggests he could be available for the upcoming trip to Sunderland, provided there are no further setbacks.
Tel has previously alluded to challenges under former boss Thomas Frank, but there is growing belief that he could flourish under De Zerbi’s attacking philosophy, with many tipping the Frenchman to thrive in the Italian’s system.
