Tottenham drop midfielder Bissouma for Super Cup for being late

Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma has been left out of the squad to face Champions League winners Paris St-Germain for disciplinary reasons.

The former Brighton man misses out as new manager Thomas Frank lays down the law to his squad.

Frank said: “Bissouma has not travelled due to disciplinary reasons. He’s been late several times and now this time, the latest time, was one too many.

“I think with everything you need to give your players a lot of love. [But] also have demands and also needs to be consequences, and this time there was a consequence for that.”

Spurs won the Europa League against Manchester United at the end of last season and can win another trophy if they see off PSG in Udine opn Wednesday night.

Spurs begin their Premier League campaign at home to Burnley on Saturday and Frank provided no guarantee that Bissouma will come straight back into the squad when asked what the midfielder needed to do to repair the relationship.

“For me there’s been a consequence for this trip,” Frank said.

“And then I’ll follow up when I come home. I park it now because there’s a relatively important game for tomorrow.”
