Nitrous oxide can lead to brain disorders, depression, memory loss, incontinence, hallucinations and nerve damage.<\/p>\n<p>The latest footage, revealed by The Sun, appears to have been filmed in the early hours of November 3, with Bissouma since removing any mention of Tottenham from his Instagram account.<\/p>\n<p>It comes after the player posted a clip on his Snapchat account last August of him inhaling \u201chippy crack\u201d, for which Bissouma was suspended by the club and later issued an apology for his \u201csevere lack of judgement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Spurs spokesman said of the new video: \u201cWe are looking into the events and it will be dealt with as an internal matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This latest off-field incident will surely spell the end for Bissouma\u2019s career in north London, having joined in a \u00a325million from Brighton in the summer of 2022. He has made 100 appearances for the club, scoring twice.<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old\u2019s current contract is due to run out next summer, although the club do have the option to extend for a further 12 months, for a player who currently earns\u00a0\u00a368,750 per week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>DON\u2019T MISS \u27a1\ufe0f\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/tottenham-hotspur\/spurs-debate-vicario-replacement-elite-keeper-signing-january-transfer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Do Tottenham need to replace Vicario with an elite keeper signing in January to reach top four?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tottenham rocked by two more injuries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, as Tottenham finally got back to winning ways at home in the Premier League on Saturday thanks to a 2-0 win over Frank\u2019s former club Brentford, there was more bad news on the injury front.<\/p>\n<p>Spurs remain without Dominic Solanke, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison as they head into the busy festive period of fixtures and Frank confirmed after the Brentford win that Destny Udogie has suffered yet another injury issue.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to reporters, the Dane revealed that Udogie could not play against Brentford due to an injury he picked up in midweek: \u201cHe got a soft tissue injury, unfortunately, against Newcastle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the bright side, Frank stated that Udogie will not be out for \u201ctoo long\u201d. However, \u2018not long\u2019 at Tottenham could mean anything from a matter of weeks to five months, as has been the case with Solanke\u2019s ongoing absence.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s another injury for a striker that could cause Frank further issues going forward, with\u00a0Randal Kolo Muani appearing to pick up another issue against the Bees.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Mirror\u2018s Ryan Taylor reported that the France international was observed in the mixed zone with a visible limp. Per Taylor, he was also \u201cmoving gingerly\u201d prior to being substituted from the game.<\/p>\n<p>If Kolo Muani does face more time on the sidelines, it will mean Richarlison leading the line in the foreseeable future, with youngster Dane Scarlett likely to step up to bench duty again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Get the inside story first by joining our <a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.messenger.com\/channel\/teamtalk\" target=\"_blank\">TEAMtalk Facebook channel<\/a> to receive the latest breaking and exclusive news straight into your Messenger inbox.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Latest Tottenham news: Striker target blow; winger chase exclusive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tottenham and other suitors of Samu Aghehowa are facing January disappointment having been informed that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/tottenham-hotspur\/spurs-second-striker-setback-samu-aghehowa-move-blocked-sources\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spanish striker is not pushing to leave Porto in January<\/a>, TEAMtalk understands.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, a\u00a0number of English sides, including Spurs, have been alerted to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/news\/tottenham-man-utd-hunt-winger-nilson-angulo-transfer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">progress of Anderlecht winger Nilson Angulo<\/a>, TEAMtalk can reveal.<\/p>\n<p>Finally,\u00a0Brentford have dismissed suggestions that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/news\/tottenham-newcastle-learn-chances-ambitious-igor-thiago-2026-transfer-brentford\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tottenham target Igor Thiago could be allowed to leave the club in January<\/a>, with four Premier League sides seriously looking into signing him, we can reveal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yves Bissouma faces the prospect of being axed by Tottenham Hotspur after being filmed reportedly inhaling laughing gas,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":618158,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[160,6990,94,163,122477,101,117110,79,201,16,15,35533],"class_list":{"0":"post-618157","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-all-the-news","9":"tag-destiny-udogie","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-front-page","12":"tag-popular","13":"tag-premier-league","14":"tag-randal-kolo-muani","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-tottenham-hotspur","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom","19":"tag-yves-bissouma"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115678972780713205","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=618157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/618158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=618157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=618157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=618157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
