Yves Bissouma's international experiences with Mali in the past week will leave Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte with mixed feelings.
The summer signing from Brighton has started just one match for Spurs so far this season and would have been hoping to get some minutes in his belt with his country. However, it has not exactly worked out that way for the 26-year-old central midfielder during his international exploits in this break.
First Bissouma was on the bench for Mali in the opening game of a double header of home friendlies against Zambia on Friday, coming on for the final 27 minutes of the 1-0 victory at the Stade Du 26 Mars. Then at the same stadium on Monday, Bissouma was named in the starting line-up against the same opposition.
