Yves Bissouma will not play for Tottenham Hotspur in the Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain due to ill-discipline.
Spurs will face the Champions League winners on Wednesday, live on talkSPORT, as they battle for more European silverware.
But Bissouma won't feature at Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italy as Thomas Frank revealed he reported late for duties on numerous occasions.
"Bissouma has not travelled with the group for disciplinary reasons," the Spurs boss said in his press conference.
Frank added: "He’s been late several times and now this time was just one too many.
"With everything you need to give your players a lot of love and there needs to be demands and consequences."
Last season, Bissouma was suspended by Spurs for posting a video of himself inhaling nitrous oxide on social media.
The midfielder apologised but was not involved in their first Premier League match of the campaign at Leicester City.
Now he will miss the opportunity to win another European trophy with Spurs.
Bissouma played the entirety of the 1-0 Europa League final win over Manchester United in May.
The north London side lifted their first piece of silverware in 17 years as a result.
Europa League success qualifies them for the Super Cup, with PSG in contention for the trophy after their first Champions League win.

Frank also provided updates on other members of the Spurs squad ahead of their huge test.
"The players [that are] longer-term are just part of the group. Dom [Solanke] is the positive one, he’s available for selection tomorrow.
"Destiny [Udogie] is closer, and getting closer to training with the group."
He added: "I think I have a good squad. Of course this transfer window we are still in the market. Doing everything we can to make the best possible squad ready for the 1 September.
"There are a few things in the air but the last two days we trained very well."
PSG will be without Joao Neves due to his red card in their Club World Cup final against Chelsea.
Gianluigi Donnarumma is also absent from the squad amid reports of him leaving this summer.
Spurs had a mixed pre-season campaign with wins over Reading and Arsenal before a 4-0 defeat to Bayern Munich.
After the Super Cup, they host Burnley on the opening weekend of the new Premier League season.
A trip to Manchester City follows before the visit of Bournemouth, with West Ham and Brighton also making up their first five tests.
