Tottenham player reportedly desperate to impress Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou

Tottenham Hotspur’s midfield dynamo, Yves Bissouma, is facing an injury setback that could significantly impact the team's preparations for the upcoming North London derby against Arsenal. The Mali international, who has been in superb form, sustained the injury during Mali’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Eswatini. Despite opening the scoring in that match, Bissouma was forced to cut short his international duties and return to London for an injury assessment.

According to reports from London World, Bissouma’s injury could sideline him for at least three weeks. This news is a considerable blow for Tottenham, especially with a crucial fixture just around the corner. Bissouma’s absence will be felt keenly, given his recent performances and pivotal role in Tottenham’s midfield.

Bissouma found the back of the net in both of Mali’s international fixtures during the break. His remarkable goal in Tottenham’s 4-0 victory over Everton last month, with a stunning strike from outside the box, further underlined his importance to the team.

Since joining Tottenham from Brighton, Bissouma has become an integral part of the squad. His relentless energy and commanding presence in midfield have earned him significant trust from manager Ange Postecoglou. Last season, Bissouma appeared in 28 matches. The absence of such a key player could disrupt the balance and structure that Postecoglou has worked hard to build.

Postecoglou will be keeping his fingers crossed for a quick recovery, as the team is aiming high for both domestic and European honours. Bissouma’s role is crucial for their ambitions, and if he’s out for a while, it’s just another hurdle for Tottenham during this crucial stretch.

It’s no surprise that Bissouma is eager to make an impression on his manager, as reports suggest. Tottenham’s season has been a bit all over the place so far, and a strong performance in the North London derby against Arsenal this Sunday would be just what they need.
