Heading back to Spurs after duty Bissouma (depression) played the full AFCON with Mali and is now heading back to Tottenham after being eliminated from the competition.

Impact Bissouma has been dealing with severe depression, having not played a single minute with Tottenham this season, but he was a regular figure for his country during the AFCON, competing hard in midfield before being sent off in the final game. It remains to be seen what role Bissouma will hold once back with the Spurs, since he does not appear to be in the plans of coach Thomas Frank, and his future remains blurry for the time being.

Impact Bissouma has yet to play his first minutes of the season for Tottenham after going through a difficult period, both on the pitch due to an ankle issue and off it because of behavioral issues under new coach Thomas Frank, as well as several personal problems. He was the victim of an assault in Cannes, a burglary at his London home, and a scam, during which he reportedly lost more than a million euros worth of watches, jewelry, and other valuables. Left deeply traumatized, he even stayed overnight at the club's training center out of fear of returning home. Bissouma gave an interview in which he spoke about fear, paranoia, insomnia, and a loss of confidence, while also apologizing to the fans and expressing hope that the AFCON can help him get back on track and properly launch his 2025/26 season.

Impact Bissouma suffered a serious ankle injury early in October and hasn't returned to any significant portion of training. There's no timeline for his return, but he's expected to be out until after the November international break. Bissouma has yet to make his debut under new manager Thomas Frank, so his absence doesn't change much in the starting XI.

Impact Bissouma has struggled in the first stretch of the season with both injuries and disciplinary issues that have kept him off the pitch until now. The midfielder made his return from injury while on international duty but lasted only 15 seconds before being stretchered off after suffering an apparent serious ankle injury following a tackle from a Madagascar player. Bissouma will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the injury but his absence will not impact the starting XI for Spurs as he was expected to remain a bench option on rare occasions at best under coach Thomas Frank.

Impact Bissouma is progressing well in his recovery from a knee issue but remains out of the squad for the time being as the coach and staff continue working with him to help him channel his energy on the pitch and adapt to the playing style of new coach Thomas Frank. That said, even if he returns to full fitness, Bissouma has fallen down the pecking order in the midfield and is unlikely to see many minutes with Spurs this season.

Impact It's unclear the exact situation or injury with Bissouma, but he'll miss another game without a timeline given. He originally was late for training and has since been left out because of a training injury. No matter, Spurs have a deep midfield and Bissouma's role in the squad seems fairly minimal this season under Frank.

However, he was left out eventually, with it now known that it was due to a knock. It is unknown if this is possibly hinting at a move out after some issues with the manager, but the club will hope for his return soon, as he is a solid option in the midfield for the team when available.

Impact Bissouma was punished by his coach following several late arrivals to training but will be back with the squad for Saturday's opener against Burnley. That said, Bissouma will likely hold a rotational role under new coach Thomas Frank, so his return is not expected to impact the starting XI.

Inconsistent campaign Bissouma scored two goals and kept one clean sheet across 28 appearances (16 starts) in the Premier League.

Impact Bissouma was in and out of the lineup this season, and he tallied two goals through 28 appearances. As the most defensive minded of Spurs' muddled midfield, he put together an excellent defensive performance in the Europa League Final to help break Spurs' trophy drought, but that level of performance did not translate into the Premier League. His place in next season's first choice starting XI is not a guarantee, with Pape Sarr and Rodrigo Bentancur, along with youngsters Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray, all battling for two midfield slots. Bissouma is currently the best defender of the bunch, but he has been inconsistent and somewhat reckless through three campaigns with Spurs.
