There are some suggestions that an operation may be required and if so that could potentially place the remainder of his Premier League season and World Cup participation in doubt. Ghana face England as well as Croatia and Panama in their group at the showpiece tournament this summer.

Kudus had not missed a single game through injury for West Ham but could potentially miss half of his first season at their north London rivals.
