Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has shared an update on midfielder Yves Bissouma as the team prepares for their Premier League match against Brentford.
Bissouma, who has been a key player for Spurs, recently returned from international duty with Mali, where he suffered an injury after scoring in a match against Eswatini.
Postecoglou confirmed that Bissouma has rejoined full training and is being closely observed ahead of the Brentford clash.
Although this was his first session back, the manager suggested that the 28-year-old midfielder could be available for the game, depending on how well he recovers.
Speaking ahead of the game during a pre-match presser, the Australian head coach stated (quotes via Football London):
“Bissouma trained today so he should be available for tomorrow.
“He trained today. He trained fully. It is his first session so we’ll just have to see how he pulls up. But if he’s available, he’s available.”
Since his transfer from Brighton, Bissouma has quickly established himself as a vital member of Tottenham’s midfield.
Last season, he made 28 appearances and featured in every match he was available for, highlighting the trust Postecoglou places in his abilities.
As Spurs look to recover from consecutive defeats, Bissouma’s return could be crucial in helping the team regain their form and push for a better result against Brentford.
His influence in the midfield is expected to play a key role as Tottenham seeks to build momentum and improve their standing in the Premier League.
