West Ham winger Mohammed Kudus faces a further setback after being handed an additional two-game suspension for violent conduct following his red card against Tottenham Hotspur. The incident, which initially resulted in a three-game ban, has now extended his suspension to five games in total, keeping him off the pitch until West Ham’s fixture against Leicester City on December 3.

The incident has not only sidelined Kudus for a longer period but has also led to financial penalties. Kudus has been fined £60,000 for his conduct, while West Ham United has been slapped with a £30,000 fine, due to what was described as a failure to control player behavior during the heated clash.

Kudus’ absence will be a blow to West Ham’s attacking lineup as they strive to climb the Premier League table. Fans will undoubtedly feel the void in West Ham’s attacking strength, as the talented Ghanaian has been a crucial part of their forward momentum this season.
