Team news | Igor's update on Kudus and Bentancur | OneFootball

As well as positive news on James Maddison, Igor Tudor gave an update on Mo Kudus and Rodrigo Bentancur on Friday.

Out all season after suffering a serious knee injury on tour in August, Igor said he was hopeful Madders could return before the end of the season.

Meanwhile, Mo and Rodrigo - both out since January - have both returned to ball work as they continue their rehabilitation.

Speaking in his pre-Forest press conference at Hotspur Way, Igor was asked if there was any news on Mo's return. "We have this big three weeks after the game on Sunday," he said.

"I don't know, probably some part of the things with the squad, maybe 10 days. I don't know, I'm not sure, we need to check, but he's progressing very well – already with the ball. Rodrigo (Bentancur) as well, Maddison as well. We hope the medical staff will make us some nice surprise next week, which would be very important.

“Maddison is already doing interesting things as well, with the ball, sprinting as well. I saw him. He's positive."
