Tottenham have suffered a significant setback ahead of Sunday’s North London derby against Arsenal, as midfielder Yves Bissouma sustained an injury while on international duty.
The Mali international, who scored the first goal in their match against Eswatini, was forced to leave the field after 65 minutes due to a heavy tackle, raising concerns about his availability for this weekend’s crucial Premier League fixture.
Bissouma has been a key player under manager Ange Postecoglou since his arrival, but earlier this season, he missed a match after being caught inhaling nitrous oxide from balloons. The club suspended him for a game, and Postecoglou acknowledged that Bissouma needed to regain the trust of the staff and his teammates.
