Mohammed Kudus suffer muscle injury in Ajax narrow win over Feyenoord

During the Dutch Cup semifinals match between Ajax and Feyenoord on Wednesday night, Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus sustained a muscle injury.

The 22-year-old was replaced by Francisco Conceicao in the 61st minute after falling on the field, and there has been no update from the club regarding the extent of his injury.

Kudus had previously scored one goal in the competition in the round of 16 against Twente, which helped Ajax progress to the quarterfinals. Dusan Tadic opened the scoring in the 14th minute, followed by Tomas Gimene’s header that pulled the hosts level, before Davy Klaassen scored the winning goal for Ajax, securing their place in the Dutch Cup finals.

Kudus had played 90 minutes against Go Ahead Eagles in the Dutch Eredivisie over the weekend but has not scored since the international break.

He featured for Ghana in two 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying matches against Angola.
