Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma has picked up an unfortunate injury ahead of the crucial North London derby against Arsenal this Sunday.
The Mali international, who has been a key player in Spurs’ midfield this season, was forced off during his national team’s match against Eswatini after opening the scoring.

Bissouma’s injury, which occurred in the second half, has raised doubts about his availability for the highly anticipated derby.
He has been in good form, scoring 3 goals in 4 games so far this season, making his potential absence a significant blow for Spurs.
While Tottenham hopes for Bissouma’s swift recovery, they aren’t the only team dealing with injury woes.
Arsenal faces similar challenges, with captain Martin Odegaard sidelined after picking up an injury in Norway’s Nations League match.
Additionally, key midfielder Declan Rice will miss the game due to suspension following his red card in Arsenal’s 1-1 draw against Brighton before the international break.
As the North London derby approaches, both teams’ injury struggles could heavily influence the outcome of this fiercely competitive encounter.
