West Ham United struggled in the absence of Mohammed Kudus, managing just one victory in five matches – a hard-fought win over Newcastle United.
Kudus’ return from suspension is being heralded as a significant boost for manager Julen Lopetegui, who faces mounting pressure to turn the team’s fortunes around during a hectic December schedule.
The Ghanaian midfielder had already proven his value to the Hammers before his suspension, scoring two goals in eight Premier League appearances this season. His dynamic play and ability to create chances will be pivotal as West Ham aims to climb the league table and navigate a challenging set of fixtures.
With the team desperate to regain consistency, Lopetegui will be counting on Mohammed Kudus to make an immediate impact and help steer the Hammers back on course.
