West Ham United forward Mohammed Kudus’ suspension has been upgraded to five games by the Football Association (FA) after his red card against Tottenham Hotspur in October. The 24-year-old was shown a straight red card for violent conduct following a video assistant referee (VAR) review in the second half of West Ham’s 4-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur on October 19.

Mohammed Kudus has been hit with an additional two-match ban and fined £60,000 for his part in a brawl between West Ham and Tottenham players in October. West Ham have also been fined £30,000 by the FA for failing to control their players in their 4-1 defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus has opened up on his red card in the game between West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspurs in the Premier League.

Mohammed Kudus will serve an extended ban after the West Ham United forward was sent off for violent conduct in the defeat at Tottenham Hotspur last month. Kudus kicked and slapped Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven before pushing his hands into the face of Pape Matar Sarr in an extraordinary meltdown towards the end of the 4-1 defeat.
