Ghanaian international Mohammed Kudus, along with his clubs West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur, have been formally charged by the English Football Association (FA) following an incident in their Premier League clash last Saturday. The FA alleges that players from both clubs acted in an improper and violent manner during the heated second half of the match, which saw West Ham suffer a 4-1 defeat.
Kudus, who was at the center of the controversy, was sent off after a confrontation with Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven. The West Ham midfielder was initially shown a yellow card by referee Andy Madley for what appeared to be a kick at van de Ven. Moments later, the situation escalated when Kudus pushed the Dutch defender in the face, leading to a second yellow card and subsequent dismissal from the game.
The FA has given the clubs and players until Thursday, October 24, to respond to the charges of violent conduct and improper behavior. If found guilty, additional sanctions could be imposed on both teams, as well as on Kudus himself.
This incident marks a significant moment in the Ghanaian star’s Premier League season, with potential disciplinary actions hanging in the balance ahead of future fixtures. Football fans and pundits alike are keenly awaiting the clubs’ response and the FA’s final ruling on the matter.
