A Night of Mixed Fortunes
Ghanaian international Mohammed Kudus made his long-awaited return to action for West Ham United on Tuesday night, but his comeback coincided with a 3-1 defeat to Leicester City in the English Premier League.

Suspended for five matches following a red card incident during West Ham’s 4-1 loss to Tottenham in October, Kudus was reinstated to the starting lineup for the Week 14 encounter. The forward delivered a commendable performance, earning a solid 7.6 rating for his 79 minutes on the pitch.

Leicester City’s Triumph
Despite Kudus’ efforts, West Ham could not overcome a determined Leicester City side. A first-half goal from Jamie Vardy set the tone before Bilal El Khannouss and Patson Daka sealed the win in the second half. The match also marked a successful debut for Leicester’s new manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy.

West Ham’s only consolation came through substitute Niklas Fullkrug, whose goal was not enough to spark a comeback.

Looking Ahead
Kudus will now aim to regain full match sharpness and help his team bounce back as West Ham strive for better results in the league.
