Yves Bissouma on why he likes Conte and how he's feeling after Covid plus Oliver Skipp update

Yves Bissouma is feeling strong again after his bout of Covid and is ready to follow Antonio Conte's plan to the smallest detail in order to be a success at Tottenham Hotspur.

The 25-year-old signed from Brighton in June but within a week of joining the club and heading out on their tour to South Korea, Bissouma tested positive for Covid and had to isolate in his hotel room for seven days with fellow Spurs newcomer Fraser Forster having to do the same and both players flew back home days after the rest of the squad.

However, the Mali international has been back in action and straight into Conte's gruelling training sessions since and in both the matches against Rangers and Roma, Bissouma has been used in a midfield pairing with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, getting 45 minutes under his belt in both games as his fitness is gradually built back up following his week-long hotel room isolation.
