Tottenham have been handed a further injury blow with Yves Bissouma to undergo surgery on Friday to repair a stress fracture to his left ankle. Confirming the news in an official statement, Spurs have indicated that a timeframe for the player's return will be determined after surgery.
Joining the Lilywhites in the summer from Brighton & Hove Albion, the midfielder has mainly had to settle for minutes off the substitutes' bench this campaign with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur performing so well. Bissouma last featured in Tottenham's 1-0 win over Man City last weekend, coming on for the final six minutes of the contest.
However, he now looks set to face an extended period on the sidelines following his injury setback. Tottenham do have some important games on the agenda with a Champions League tie away at AC Milan coming up on Tuesday evening after they take on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium this weekend.
