Ghana got a big boost as the country’s next superstar, Mohammed Kudus, will make a faster-than-expected comeback from injury and could even play for Ajax Amsterdam this month, Ghanasoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.
The 20-year-old, who was expected to return from injury in the first quarter of next year, could even play for the Dutch giants before winter break, the club’s manager has revealed.
The midfielder, who is the country’s greatest talent at the moment, has reached the crucial stage of recovery and will join his teammates in training in the coming days.
Kudus, whose absence has been blamed for some of Ghana’s shaky midfield performances in recent games, may return to Ajax before the league in Holland takes the winter break at Christmas.
The midfield genius got off to an excellent start to his first season with Ajax and has left Dutch soccer fans in awe of his raw talent and dribbling skills that has kept millions of fans on their toes.
But he suffered a knee injury during the UEFA Champions League home game against Liverpool on 21 October.
Kudus had to undergo surgery on a meniscus and was not expected to take action this calendar year, but he will not return faster than expected from the injury.
“He is in the final phase of his rehabilitation,” Ajax Amsterdam coach Erik ten Hag said on Sunday.
“There is a possibility that he will jump into action quickly. We are certainly working to get there with him.”
Ajax will play FC Utrecht for the KNVB Cup on Wednesday and visit ADO Den Haag on Sunday. Next Wednesday the last game of this calendar year is scheduled, with Willem II.
The Ghanaian duo of Kudus and Brian Brobbey are among the six Ajax players on the disabled list and the coach is confident that some of them will be able to play this Wednesday.
“I hope some of those players can play Utrecht again on Wednesday,” said Ten Hag.
Kudus will join Ajax Amsterdam in the summer from Danish Nordsjaelland for a record fee for a Ghanaian youth player.
