Tottenham Hotspur’s international break has taken an unfortunate turn as three of their key stars — Mohammed Kudus, Cristian Romero, and Micky van de Ven — have all picked up injuries while away on duty. The trio’s setbacks have sparked concern among fans and management, especially with Spurs looking to maintain their strong start to the 2025/26 Premier League season.
Mohammed Kudus, who has been in sensational form since joining Spurs from West Ham, was withdrawn early during Ghana’s friendly clash due to a minor hamstring issue. Early reports suggest the injury is not severe, but Tottenham’s medical team will assess him upon return to North London to determine if he’ll be fit for the next league fixture.
Cristian Romero, meanwhile, suffered a minor ankle knock while representing Argentina. Known for his aggressive defensive style, Romero has battled niggling injuries in the past, and Spurs will be hoping this latest one does not keep him sidelined for long.
As for Micky van de Ven, the Dutch defender was forced off during the Netherlands’ training session with what appeared to be a hamstring strain — the same area that troubled him last season. Tottenham’s staff are taking no risks and may rest him for upcoming matches.
With all three players integral to Tottenham’s structure at both ends of the pitch, manager Thomas Frank now faces an anxious wait as the club assesses the full extent of their injuries before domestic action resumes.
