Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma has given fans a scare after appearing to pick up an injury today.
Yves Bissouma has been spotted limping after Tottenham Hotspur’s warm-down this afternoon.
Tottenham have been taking on Lion City Sailors at the National Stadium in Singapore this afternoon.
Spurs fans were probably fearing a real embarrassment when Shawal Anuar put Lion City Sailors ahead.
Tottenham levelled it up through a Harry Kane penalty before running riot in the second half.
Richarlison scored a hat-trick with Giovani Lo Celso also finding the net to give Tottenham a comfortable 5-1 win.
Ange Postecoglou will be delighted with the win, but maybe not with the injury news emerging from the game…
Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma appears to pick up an injury
Football London’s Alasdair Gold tweeted a photo of midfielder Yves Bissouam receiving medical attention on the pitch.
Gold noted that players were doing warm-down runs but Bissouma ‘slumped to the floor’ and was pointing at his foot.
Bissouma limped off the pitch and Tottenham fans will now be fearing an injury lay-off for the midfielder.
BIssouma suffered with an ankle problem last season and underwent surgery in February to repair a stress fracture.
The fear will be that Bissouma has suffered a recurrence of that injury and may miss the start of the season.
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that as Bissouma has shown promising signs under Postecoglou this summer.
Spurs fans didn’t really get to see all that much of Bissouma last season after completing a move from Brighton and Hove Albion.
The more attack-minded style of Postecoglou seemed to be a much better fit for Bissouma and fans have been excited to see him in a post-Antonio Conte world.
Postecoglou has recently hailed Bissouma but now faces a nervous wait to find out the extent of this injury blow.
UPDATE: Postecoglou has now told Football London that it looks like Bissouma has avoided an injury and it was just exhaustion that caused him to go to ground.
Postecoglou claims to have had no injury news surrounding Bissouma and it thankfully appears that he will be perfectly fine.
