Frank Drops Bissouma From Super Cup Squad Over Lateness
Thomas Frank has flexed his muscles with Tottenham’s squad by excluding Yves Bissouma from the travelling party to face Paris Saint-Germain owing to persistent lateness.
Spurs make their Uefa Super Cup debut in Udine on Wednesday in a fiendish early test for their manager, who is overseeing his first pre-season since moving from Brentford in June. Frank has wasted no time pressing home his standards and explained he had opted against selecting Bissouma, the Mali international midfielder, because of multiple lapses.
“Bissouma has not travelled with the team because of disciplinary reasons,” Frank said after their arrival in northeast Italy. “He has been late several times and the latest time was one too many. With everything you need to give your players a lot of love but also have demands and there also need to be consequences. This time there was a consequence for that.”
Frank suggested the punishment applied only to this fixture and that he would “follow up when I come home”.
