Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma has been left out of the squad for the upcoming Super Cup match against Brentford following a disciplinary breach. The Mali international reportedly arrived late to a crucial team meeting, prompting manager Ange Postecoglou to take decisive action.
The 27-year-old, who joined Spurs from Brighton in 2022, was expected to feature in the pre-season fixture. However, his tardiness has cost him a place in the squad as Postecoglou looks to instil discipline ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank acknowledged Tottenham's strong squad but hinted at potential vulnerabilities without Bissouma's presence in midfield. "They have quality throughout the team," Frank said, "but we'll prepare for whatever lineup they put out."
This incident raises questions about Bissouma's future role at Tottenham, especially after a mixed first season at the club. The midfielder will need to regain his manager's trust quickly with the Premier League season just weeks away.
Fans have taken to social media to debate Postecoglou's strict approach, with some praising his no-nonsense attitude while others question whether the punishment fits the offence.
