Following some bad news on the injury front regarding captain Hugo Lloris on Wednesday morning, Tottenham were dealt another big blow just over 24 hours later. Yves Bissouma was the unlucky player this time, with the summer addition needing to undergo surgery on Friday to repair a stress fracture to his left ankle.
It is not exactly clear yet when he will be available for Antonio Conte once again as the club did indicate that a timeframe would only be determined after his operation. The double blow comes at a bad time for the Italian, with the team building some real momentum since their 4-2 defeat at Manchester City midway through January.
Not only do Tottenham have the top-four race on their mind at present, Tuesday evening sees the team travel to the San Siro to take on Italian giants AC Milan as the Champions League resumes. Only last Sunday, everything seemed extremely positive with Conte and Cristian Stellini having a fully-fit squad to select from when Man City visited Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
