Mohammed Kudus Charged with Violent Conduct

Mohammed Kudus of West Ham United has been charged with violent conduct by the FA following his red card during the team's 4-1 defeat to Tottenham. Initially shown a yellow card for kicking and pushing Tottenham's Micky van de Ven, the decision was upgraded to a red after VAR review revealed additional violent behavior towards van de Ven and Pape Matar Sarr. Kudus is guaranteed to miss at least three upcoming matches due to the red card, but he faces the possibility of a longer suspension if the FA finds him guilty of the additional charges. Both West Ham and Tottenham have also been charged for failing to control their players during the incident. The three parties have until Thursday to respond to the charges. West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui acknowledged the situation is detrimental to both Kudus and the club, emphasizing the need for internal discussions on the matter.
