Spurs have suspended Yves Bissouma for their Premier League opener against Leicester City on Monday.
The Lilywhites have decided to take internal disciplinary action against the Mali international following a social media video showing the midfielder inhaling nitrous oxide.
Although the 27-year-old quickly apologised for his actions, Ange Postecoglou has agreed to suspend the midfielder for one game.
Now confirmed to miss Spurs’ first game of the new 2024-25 season, Bissouma is ruled out for Monday night’s away game against newly promoted Leicester City.
