Yves Bissouma and Fraser Forster fly home to London after positive Covid tests on Tottenham tour

Tottenham duo Yves Bissouma and Fraser Forster are now on their flight back to England following their isolation period in South Korea after testing positive for Covid-19. Departing for the Far East ten days ago for the club's pre-season tour of the country, the new signings were unable to feature for the Lilywhites in their first two pre-season friendlies of the summer.

Korean entry requirements dictate that you must perform a Covid test before departure to the country and then a PCR test within 72 hours of arriving in South Korea. The entire Tottenham squad underwent both tests but both Bissouma and Forster's tests on Tuesday last week returned positive results.

The pair subsequently had to isolate in the team hotel for seven days and crucially missed out on valuable training and playing time with their new teammates. However, both were allowed fitness equipment in their room to help maintain their fitness levels when isolating.
