Tottenham’s Bissouma Ankle Injury Now Viewed as Minor With Two–Three Week Timeline Reported

Overview

• Bissouma was stretchered off seconds after coming on for Mali in a World Cup qualifier against Madagascar.
• Football.London, citing Mali’s physio staff, reports the issue is an ankle contusion rather than ligament damage with a projected two to three week recovery.
• Tottenham’s medical team will conduct their own assessment when the midfielder returns to North London.
• A brief absence would raise the risk of a heavier workload for holding midfielder Joao Palhinha.
• Separately, Football.London reports Randal Kolo Muani and Kota Takai are back in full training and could be available for selection.
