Spotted on social media inhaling laughing gas, the Malian was sanctioned by Tottenham on Thursday. Ange Postecoglou announced at a press conference that the 27-year-old midfielder will not be called up for the trip to Leicester on Monday, for the closing of the first day of the Premier League. We suspended Bissouma for Monday’s game. He has to restore trust between him and me, and between him and the group. The door is open to him, but behaviour is crucial “, explained the Australian coach in comments relayed by The Evening Standard.
Having arrived at Tottenham from Brighton two years ago, the Malian international (37 caps) has played 56 games for Spurs. A starter under Postecoglou, he has faced numerous injuries that have prevented him from playing in a series of games. With the season about to begin and a clash against the reigning Championship champions awaiting Tottenham, Ange Postecoglou would have liked to have done without this story.
