Mohammed Kudus set to make West Ham return against Leicester

Black Stars forward Mohammed Kudus is set to make his return for West Ham United in their away fixture against Leicester City.

The Hammers will face the Foxes at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, on matchday 14 of the Premier League.

The game marks Kudus' return to club football since October, following a five-game suspension.

The West Ham forward was sent off during a 4-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur after a heated clash involving several players, including Mickey van de Ven. The confrontation escalated into multiple on-field altercations.

The Regulatory Commission of the Football Association (FA) handed Kudus a five-game ban and fined him £60,000 for violent conduct, emphasizing the need to prevent such incidents in the future.

In his absence, West Ham recorded two wins, two losses, and one draw in their last five matches.

Kudus' return is a significant boost for the Hammers, who are seeking consistency to climb further up the Premier League table.
