While Arsenal was mired by three to four weeks of injury to captain and key midfielder Martin Odegaard ahead of the North London derby, it was revealed that the opponent Tottenham Hotspur also had a serious A match injury.
Central midfielder Yves Bissouma, a key driver in the midfield, was injured while playing in the national team uniform and was substituted during the match. A thorough examination is needed.
Ben Dineri, an injured player expert in the U.K., made the claim. "Bissouma limped off the field after suffering a serious injury in the match against Eswatini," he said on the 12th. "He will undergo a thorough examination ahead of the North London derby. We have to wait and see if he will play in the match against Arsenal."
Bissouma plays for Mali in Africa and participated in the away match of Eswatini in the qualifying round for the 2025 Cup of Nations CAF in the African Football Confederation CAF. Eswatini used to be Swaziland, but changed its name. It is a small country surrounded by South Africa. Bissouma scored the first winning goal in the seventh minute of the first half to lead Mali to a 1-0 victory in the match against Eswatini, but Tottenham faced a sudden attack when it was replaced by an injury midway through the second half. Bissouma left the ground in the 25th minute of the second half.
Bissouma is a watchman who has been firmly guarding the midfield with Malian Pape Sarr in the 4-2-3-1 formation since Anji Postecoglou took office last summer. He joined Tottenham in 2022 after already proving his skills in Brighton in the Premier League.
However, as inhaling "laughter gas" became a problem ahead of the 2024-2025 season, unfaithful management became a problem, facing its own disciplinary action to miss one game of the opening game.
After completing the disciplinary action, he scored the first goal at a home game against Everton in the second round to lead the team to a landslide 4-0 victory, but ended up kicking a free kick out of the blue in an away game against Newcastle in the third round, before being restrained by Postecoglou after quarreling with his teammates. He also had bad luck with his injury during the A-match period.
Tottenham will play the "North London Derby," one of the world's leading derby matches, against Arsenal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 10 p.m. on the 15th. Four key players, including Dominique Solanke, Hishalisson striker and Mickey van der Pen defender, are injured or suspected of being injured, making it a big task to choose a resource to replace them. 안전놀이터
