Tottenham Hotspur have suspended midfielder Yves Bissouma for their Premier League opener against Leicester City after a video emerged showing him inhaling laughing gas.
Bissouma shared a video on Snapchat in which he can be seen taking laughing gas and alcoholic drinks at a limousine party after a warm-up match against Bayern Munich.
The Spurs star admitted his lack of judgement and the serious risks associated with the drug.
Despite his apology, Bissouma’s actions were deemed dangerous and illegal in the UK, leading to an investigation into the club regarding possible legal consequences.
Postecoglou explained that Bissouma must restore trust in him and the team.
Archie Gray, signed from Leeds for £40 million, could step in as a replacement in Bissouma’s absence. Summer signings Gray and Rodrigo Bentancur could potentially start in midfield for Tottenham against Leicester. Postecoglou praised Gray’s versatility, strong attitude and adaptability.
Tottenham have no new injury reports ahead of their Premier League opener against Leicester City. Richarlison and Fraser Forster are back in training, although Richarlison’s playing time will be limited in the early weeks of the season to ensure his full recovery and fitness.
Postecoglou, Tottenham’s new manager, will assess the effectiveness of his pre-season training and his new signings, including Gray, Lucas Bergvall and the returning Timo Werner.
Tottenham are interested in signing Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher as a potential transfer target as his move to Atletico Madrid has stalled. According to footballfancast.com, Gallagher outperformed Bissouma in attacking and defensive stats last season.
