Tottenham’s injury problems continue to grow as another key midfielder, Yves Bissouma, has undergone surgery after suffering an ankle injury during the international break.
The club’s medical list keeps getting longer, with nine senior players currently sidelined, including major names like Cristian Romero, James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski.
For manager Thomas Frank, who only joined Tottenham in the summer, it’s a frustrating situation, as several of these players haven’t even had the chance to play under him yet.
Bissouma, one of Tottenham’s most dynamic midfielders, picked up the injury while representing Mali in their recent international fixture against Madagascar.
During the second half, he was seen in visible pain after a challenge, clutching his left ankle before being stretchered off the field. The severity of the injury quickly became clear, and after further medical assessments, surgery was deemed necessary.
The 28-year-old took to Instagram to share an update and reassure fans that the procedure was successful. In his message, Bissouma expressed gratitude and faith, writing, “Everything went well. I thank God for everything that happens to me.
Everything happens for a reason. I’m simply following my destiny. Grateful to God for His protection.” His post was met with an outpouring of support from fans and teammates, all wishing him a speedy recovery.
This injury comes as a significant blow to Tottenham, who are already battling a long list of absentees. Bissouma’s energy and presence in midfield have been sorely missed, and his absence will likely force Thomas Frank to rely on less experienced options in upcoming fixtures.
The manager has emphasized the importance of keeping morale high within the squad despite the setbacks, but with so many key players unavailable, the team’s depth will be seriously tested.
For Bissouma, the focus now turns to recovery and rehabilitation. Having worked hard to cement his place in Tottenham’s lineup since his move from Brighton, this latest setback is undoubtedly disappointing. However, his positive outlook suggests he’s determined to come back stronger.
As Tottenham navigate a challenging stretch of the season, the hope among fans is that the injury crisis eases soon.
With players like Bissouma now recovering post-surgery, the club will be eager to see its stars return to full fitness and help restore stability to the squad.
