Tottenham's key player doubtful for Arsenal game due to injury, dealing a blow to the team.

There is some concern among Tottenham fans as their star midfielder, Yves Bissouma, may not be able to play in the highly anticipated North London Derby against Arsenal this Sunday. The player suffered an injury while on international duty and his fitness for the game is uncertain.

Unfortunately, both teams are already facing some injury setbacks. Arsenal is currently struggling with a shortage of midfielders, with captain Martin Odegaard and new signing Mikel Merino being out for a few weeks and Declan Rice serving a suspension due to a recent red card. On the other hand, Tottenham's only confirmed absence is the out-of-favor Richarlison, while Micky van de Ven and Dominic Solanke are racing against time to recover.

Now, Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has been hit with another blow as Bissouma, a key player in the team's defense, may not be able to participate in the derby. The 28-year-old scored the winning goal for Mali in their World Cup qualifier against Eswatini but was forced to leave the field in the 65th minute due to a harsh challenge. Reports suggest that he sustained an injury and his availability for the game is in question.

This is not the first time Bissouma has faced a setback this season. He was suspended for the opening game against Leicester due to a video he posted on social media, showing him inhaling laughing gas. However, he quickly returned to the starting lineup and even scored the first goal in Tottenham's 4-0 victory over Everton. In regards to the incident, he apologized and acknowledged the severity of his actions and the impact it may have on his role as a footballer and a role model.

Currently, Tottenham sits at 10th place in the table with one win, one draw, and one loss. A win against Arsenal would bring them level on points with their rivals who are currently in fourth place. The match is sure to be an intense one, with both teams determined to come out on top.
