Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that Yves Bissouma will be available for their upcoming match against Everton after serving a suspension for their season opener against Leicester City. The midfielder was suspended by the club after a video of him inhaling nitrous oxide surfaced on social media. Speaking at a press conference, Postecoglou stated, “Biss is available for selection, but we have other options as well. The depth of our squad allows us to navigate through these situations. He is ready to play, and we continue to build bridges.”
Unfortunately for Spurs, new signing Dominic Solanke will be unavailable for the Everton game due to an ankle injury. The English striker, who joined from Bournemouth for a reported fee of £65 million, sustained the injury during the previous match against Leicester. Postecoglou explained, “Dom picked up a knock in the last game. While he managed to finish the match, the injury flared up the next day, ruling him out for this fixture. It’s an ankle issue that occurred early in the game when someone made contact with his ankle.”
In addition to Solanke, Uruguay international Rodrigo Bentancur will be missing from the Spurs lineup as he adheres to concussion protocols. This further limits Postecoglou’s options for the upcoming game, highlighting the importance of squad depth and versatility in the Premier League.
Postecoglou hinted at the possibility of more changes being made to the squad before the transfer window closes. He emphasized the club’s strategic approach to recruitment, focusing on aligning new signings with the team’s style of play. While acknowledging the progress made over the past year, Postecoglou expressed a desire to further fine-tune the squad to achieve their objectives in the league.
As Tottenham prepares to face Everton in their next Premier League fixture, the team will have to cope with the absence of key players like Solanke and Bentancur. However, the availability of Bissouma provides a silver lining for Postecoglou, who remains optimistic about the squad’s depth and adaptability. With potential changes on the horizon, Spurs fans can expect further developments in the squad as the transfer deadline approaches.
