Yves Bissouma has revealed via his Instagram account that he has undergone surgery on his ankle.<\/p>\n

The Mali international midfielder picked up the injury during a recent World Cup qualification match against Madagascar, shortly after entering the field.<\/p>\n

He was stretchered off following a strong tackle<\/a> and has been undergoing further examination in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Bissouma is yet to feature for Spurs this season after missing the start of the campaign with a separate issue which is understood to have scuppered a potential transfer to Turkish giants Fenerbahce.<\/p>\n

He wrote on his social media profile, whilst posting an image from a hospital bed: “Everything went well. I thank God for everything that happens to me. Everything happens for a reason I\u2019m simply following my destiny. Grateful to God for His protection.”<\/p>\n

In the image, Bissouma’s left ankle is now in cast Speaking last Friday ahead of the 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa, Thomas Frank revealed the ex-Brighton man was set for a spell on the sidelines<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Dane said: “Biss unfortunately had a situation with the national team, I think everyone saw that unfortunately, so he got a ligament injury to his ankle, they’ll keep him out for weeks.”<\/p>\n

It’s been a difficult few months for the 29-year-old, who is also out of contract next summer.<\/p>\n

Last term, Bissouma came in from the cold following honest discussions with Ange Postecoglou to play a crucial role in their Europa League triumph.<\/p>\n

But this time around, he’s been on the periphery of Frank’s plans – partially due to fitness problems – and was omitted from the travelling squad to Udine for the Super Cup defeat to PSG due to lateness.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, he will still surely feel he has something to contribute this term before he likely departs as a free agent in 2026. There is of course, a strong chance he could also leave for a transfer fee in January.<\/p>\n
