'Bit of an issue': Postecoglou says £25m Tottenham star could now miss Arsenal through new injury

Tottenham take on Arsenal this weekend and it’s mixed news for Ange Postecoglou when it comes to the fitness of key players.

The Spurs boss has been sweating on the fitness of a few of his key players going into what is the biggest game of the season so far.

Of course, over at Arsenal, Martin Odegaard is an injury concern after picking up a sprained ankle while away with Norway.

However, Postecoglou will worry little about Arsenal’s problems and instead, focus fully on his own house.

And while the Aussie has suggested there’s good news when it comes to Dominic Solanke and Micky van de Ven, Tottenham do have a worry when it comes to midfielder, Yves Bissouma.

Speaking prior to his actual press conferences with journalists ahead of facing Arsenal, Postecoglou admitted that midfielder Bissouma is actually touch and go to face Arsenal.

“We had the last of the boys in late yesterday so we’ll have a look at them today and everyone’s reporting all well except for Biss,” said Postecoglou.

“He’s got a bit of an issue, but we’ll have a look at him over the next couple of days and see how it settles.”

Bissouma fitness key for Tottenham

With plenty of talk about Arsenal facing Tottenham this weekend and certain players fitting in here and there, there’s no doubting £25m man Bissouma being a doubt is big.

Given the quality of Arsenal’s midfield and the area of the field is likely to be where the game is won and lost, Bissouma being potentially missing is big news.

Postecoglou has re-introduced Bissouma back into the XI recently and there’s a reason why he picks him so often in his best XI.

If Bissouma can somehow make it, along with Solanke and Van de Ven, then suddenly Tottenham could well look favourites.
