West Ham United manager Graham Potter has offered a glimmer of hope to fans as he provided a positive update on Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus ahead of their upcoming Premier League clash against Bournemouth.

The 23-year-old Black Stars playmaker was absent during the Hammers’ narrow 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday night due to a recent injury setback. However, in a welcome development, Kudus was spotted back in light training on Wednesday, raising optimism about his availability for the weekend fixture.

“Mo [Kudus] was in light training today and again has a chance,” Potter told the press, hinting at a potential return.

Kudus has had a turbulent season, struggling to replicate the stellar form he showcased during his debut campaign. So far, he has managed just three goals and two assists in 27 appearances across all competitions. His rhythm was further disrupted by a 13-game goal drought and a five-game suspension, both of which have affected his overall impact on the team.

Despite the setbacks, the dynamic midfielder remains hopeful of regaining form and finishing the season on a strong note, especially as West Ham aims for a respectable league finish.

Fans will be eager to see if Kudus can make the matchday squad and spark a late resurgence in the final stretch of the season.
