Ryan Mason has hinted that Yves Bissouma is "fit to play" for Tottenham as he mulls over starting the Mali international against Brentford on Saturday. Out of action since early February after undergoing surgery to repair a stress fracture to his left ankle, the summer signing made his return in last weekend's 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa.
Coming on for the final 30 minutes of the contest, Bissouma was a rare bright spot on a dismal day for the Lilywhites as he caught the eye with an energetic display. Certainly giving Mason something to think about as Tottenham look to return to winning ways, the acting head coach was asked if Bissouma is fit enough to start when speaking in his pre-match press conference.
"I think that when players train and they train fully then in my eyes they are fit to play," explained Mason. "So I've got a decision to make, we've got players to pick from and he's certainly one that is available to play."
