West Ham United manager Julen Lopetegui has confirmed that Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus is fit and ready for selection ahead of their Premier League match against Leicester City on Tuesday, December 3.
Speaking at a press conference, Lopetegui expressed his excitement about Kudus’ availability, calling it a timely boost for the team. “Mohammed Kudus is back. He’s missed several matches, but he’s fit and ready. It’s great news because having more players available is always a positive,” he said.
Kudus’ return comes at a crucial moment for the Hammers, who are aiming to strengthen their attacking options during a challenging spell.
The team has managed to score more than one goal in just two of their last six games, relying heavily on winger Jarrod Bowen, who leads the squad with six combined goals and assists this season.
Since his summer arrival from Ajax, Kudus has shown flashes of brilliance, bringing creativity and goal-scoring potential to West Ham’s midfield.
His return is expected to inject energy and versatility into the squad as they navigate a packed schedule during the festive season.
