Tottenham winger Mohammed Kudus will be out of action until after the international break in March, with a thigh injury ruling him out for at least 19 days. The Ghana forward lasted just minutes before limping off during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Sunderland.
Kudus' absence will be a blow to Thomas Frank's team, who are struggling to find their scoring form of late. A winless streak in the last six matches across all competitions has put further pressure on the manager and his players.
The latest loss was to Bournemouth, a side that had been unbeaten for 11 top-flight games without a win. Spurs' failure to capitalize on possession and chances is becoming increasingly concerning for fans and pundits alike.
Tottenham's reliance on through balls is also drawing criticism, with the team playing fewer of these than any other Premier League side this season. They rank near the bottom of the division in terms of shots, expected goals, and touches in the opponent's box.
The January transfer window could see Spurs bolster their attack, but it remains to be seen whether any new signings can turn around the team's fortunes. For now, the focus will be on getting Kudus fit again, with an expected return date after the March break.

... a thigh injury at this point is super frustrating, especially since he was already in good form before the Sunderland game 
... i feel bad for Thomas Frank and the team, they're really struggling to find their scoring rhythm lately... it's like they're having a hard time finishing chances 
... hope they can get some fresh blood in during the transfer window to give them a boost 
... meanwhile, let's all send some positive vibes to Kudus for a speedy recovery and getting back on the pitch ASAP 
I'm thinking they need a player who can create some magic up front... all this through-ball stuff is just not working out 
. We've seen it in other teams too, teams that dominate possession but still can't score. Maybe they should look for someone with more pace and skill to stretch the defense? That would make life easier for Kudus when he gets back 
.
. The reliance on through balls is weird, doesn't seem like the most effective strategy to me 
. And with Kudus out for 19 days, it's gonna be tough to break this losing streak... Fingers crossed he gets back fit ASAP and they can turn things around 
I mean, they have all these talented players like Son and Kane, but they just can't seem to get it together as a team. And Kudus' injury at such a crucial time is just devastating 
And I'm so sick of watching them rely on through balls - it's like they're not even trying to create scoring chances organically 
. I mean, Bournemouth has been doing it right all season and Spurs can't even be bothered 
. Fingers crossed Kudus gets back soon and brings some much-needed magic to the team 
!
. And with all these new signings coming in January, we might see some changes, but will it be enough? 
. They need to shake things up in that attack, I've been saying for ages they should be playing more direct passes than through balls 
. Maybe some new signings will bring the spark they need, but I'm not holding my breath 
It's like they think the opposition is just gonna sit back and let them have all the fun! 
they need some serious help in the attacking department ASAP 
their reliance on through balls is not working and it's causing them so much probs 
️ the pressure on Thomas Frank is piling up 
and with Kudus out for 19 days, it's gonna be tough to keep the fans satisfied 
. They need to figure out what's going on with their attack because all these through balls are not working 
. And now Mohammed Kudus is out, which is a big blow 
. The fans are getting frustrated and I don't blame them 
. It feels like they're playing for the sake of possession rather than trying to actually score goals. And don't even get me started on their shot numbers - near the bottom of the league? That's just not good enough 
Can you even imagine how demoralizing it must be for the team right now? They're already struggling to find form and now they lose Kudus... Thomas Frank needs to get those transfer windows right ASAP 
Fingers crossed he can bring in someone who can help them break out of this slump
