A Tottenham midfielder made his first competitive appearance of the season on Sunday, but it ended horribly as he was forced off with another injury.
Tottenham’s injury list has been piling up at the start of the season, but key players are now on the mend for the Lilywhites.
Randal Kolo Muani may be set for his first Premier League appearance against Aston Villa after coming through a behind-closed-doors friendly unscathed at Hotspur Way.
However, one experienced Spurs star, who has been struggling with an injury since the start of the summer, will not be featuring anytime soon after what happened on Sunday.
Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma was forced off with an injury
Bissouma’s knee injury was the reason why his proposed summer move to Turkey fell through, and the 28-year-old has still not made a single appearance for Tottenham this season.
He played his first competitive match of the campaign on Sunday night, coming on as a 66th-minute substitute for Mali against Madagascar.
Unfortunately, things did not go according to plan for the midfielder, with Tottenham revealing on their official website that Bissouma had to be stretchered off just six minutes later due to an injury.
They do not provide any information on the nature of the injury, but it will not be good news for the former Brighton man if it has to do with the same knee which has been troubling him for the past few months.
Bissouma’s latest setback is a blow for Tottenham
The Mali international’s injury may not affect Thomas Frank’s plans too much, as the midfielder is evidently way down the Dane’s pecking order.
However, transfer interest has already been building up for Bissouma ahead of the January window, and this may dent Tottenham’s hopes of getting a decent fee for him.
The midfielder is out of contract next summer, which means that January is the final opportunity for Spurs to recoup some money for the midfielder.
