YVES BISSOUMA is a doubt for the North London derby after limping off on international duty.
The Tottenham midfielder, 28, was in action for Mali against Eswatini on Tuesday and netted the only goal of the game.
But he was forced off with a knock in the 65th minute after a heavy tackle and now Spurs are sweating on his fitness for Sunday’s powder-keg clash at home to Arsenal.
Bissouma was handed a one-match club ban last month for filming himself inhaling nitrous oxide, so missed the season-opener at Leicester.
Yet he has started both games since and netted a stunner in the 4-0 victory over Everton.
The blow comes just days after Arsenal's Martin Odegaard picked up an ankle injury while playing for Norway.
The Gunners' captain will miss the derby game and could be out for at least three weeks.
Meanwhile, fellow midfielder James Maddison says it is the current Spurs squad’s “duty” to end their trophy famine.
Tottenham have not tasted silverware since winning the League Cup in 2008.
They compete in the Europa League this term, while they have a potential banana skin of an opening Carabao Cup tie away to Coventry on Wednesday.

Speaking to Australian channel Optus Sport, Maddison said: “What trophy would I like to win? I’d like to win all of them!
“It’s spoken about a lot in the media here and kind of a bit of a black mark against Tottenham’s name in terms of silverware.
“That’s on us, that’s our duty to try to change the history of recent times and try to get our hands on silverware.
“It’s not a thing that we should not talk about.
“The club needs to be winning trophies of this size and with the quality that we have, we should be battling it out for trophies.
“So we’ve got a good few competitions this year with the Europa League, the Carabao, the FA Cup and the Premier League.
“Hopefully we can have a deep run in one of them because winning trophies is for sure the best thing about football.
“When all is said and done at the end of your career, you look back on what you’ve won, I think.”
