Jan 8 (Reuters) - ‌Tottenham Hotspur forward Mohammed Kudus ‌will be out until April with ‌a quad injury he suffered during Sunday's draw with Sunderland, manager Thomas Frank said ‍on Thursday.

Kudus has made ‍19 Premier League ‌appearances for Spurs this season, scoring ‍twice and ​providing five assists. The 25-year-old Ghana international went ⁠down off the ball during the ‌draw that left them 14th in the ⁠table.

"That is ‍one where we expect him back after the March international break," ‍Frank told reporters on Thursday.

The ‌international break is scheduled from March 23-31.

"(Midfielder) Lucas Bergvall is being assessed today. Same with Rodrigo Bentancur. Rodri has a hamstring injury, looks like a bigger one, unfortunately. We ‌don’t know the time frame," Frank said.

Spurs host Aston Villa in the FA ​Cup third round on Saturday.
