Tottenham adds Yves Bissouma to their growing injury list

Tottenham Hotspur’s struggles continue to mount as yet another key player faces time on the sidelines.

Tottenham is enduring one of its toughest periods. Following their 3-1 defeat against Everton last Sunday, the Spurs find themselves plagued by an unrelenting wave of bad news.

Amid ongoing transfer rumours, including recent links to Liam Delap, Tottenham is striving to climb out of their struggles and regain momentum.

Yves Bissouma, the team’s dependable midfielder, is the latest addition to an already extensive injury list that has left the squad stretched thin.

Manager Ange Postecoglou has navigated a turbulent second season, with a string of injuries forcing him to adapt tactically.

Fans were left concerned when news emerged of Bissouma’s knock during Tottenham’s recent clash with Arsenal.

With a packed fixture list on the horizon, the timing couldn’t be worse for the North London club. In the midst of this crisis, Postecoglou has maintained his characteristic composure.

Yves Bissouma setback deepens Tottenham’s growing troubles

The absence of many first-team players, including Bissouma, raises questions about Tottenham’s ability to sustain their campaign.

Yves Bissouma sustained a slight hamstring strain during Tottenham’s recent defeat to Arsenal.

While manager Ange Postecoglou downplayed the severity of the injury, stating, "Yeah, Brennan and Biss picked up knocks against Arsenal, Biss not too serious," further assessments are ongoing to determine the full extent.

Club insider Paul O’Keefe shared on X that the midfielder is awaiting additional scan results. He added, "They do not think it is major—or at least hope. Maybe 2-3 weeks."

This timeline, though relatively short, comes at a critical juncture for Tottenham, with the team already battling a long list of injuries and underperforming in key areas.

Tottenham faces an injury crisis

Tottenham’s injury woes have left no fewer than 11 first-team players sidelined, including key forwards and defenders.

This crisis has forced Postecoglou to experiment tactically, including the use of a 3-4-3 formation in their recent matches.

His absence could affect Tottenham’s ability to control games, particularly against stronger opponents in the Premier League.

The ongoing injury situation highlights a deeper issue for Tottenham—squad depth. With the club facing critical fixtures in the coming weeks, the challenge will be to weather this storm without compromising results.

We hope that Bissouma’s recovery goes as planned and that Tottenham’s injury list doesn’t grow any further, but for now, the road ahead looks undeniably challenging.
