According to the Evening Standard, Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma will be assessed before making a decision on the Brighton encounter.
Spurs have been unfortunate in terms of player availability this season, with about 21 members of the current team suffering injuries at various stages.
Ange Postecoglou expected all of his players to be in good health when they returned from national team duty. This includes the club’s captain, Heung-min Son, as well as Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr.
However, it was revealed that Mali international Yves Bissouma played all of the AFCON games while suffering from malaria.
Eric Chelle, the country’s manager, provided an update on Bissouma following their AFCON quarter-final defeat to Ivory Coast, stating that the former Brighton midfielder played while suffering from malaria.
According to the source, the 27-year-old will visit Hotspur Way in the coming days for a checkup by the club’s medical experts following Mali’s elimination.
Although it has been reported that Bissouma has recovered from malaria, the final decision will be made by the club’s physicians.
Bissouma has been a key player for Tottenham this season under Ange Postecoglou, and his return is likely to offer the manager a significant boost.
It is unclear whether he will start against Brighton or be eased back into the team.
