Yves Bissouma just can’t catch a break. In his first match action since returning from a knee injury that has kept him sidelined for the start of the new season, Bissouma appeared to injure his ankle while on international duty with Mali. According to a report in Football.London, Biss was stretchered off the pitch in obvious discomfort just moments after coming on as a substitute for Mali in a World Cup Qualifying match against Madagascar.
Bissouma had a rocky start to life under Thomas Frank after being left out of the Super Cup squad for repeatedly being late to team meetings. But the main reason he hasn’t seen the pitch was due to a knee injury he picked up in training. He had just recovered but now could be due another spell on the sidelines.
It should be noted that beyond the description of the injury we really don’t have any more information and will need to wait for a report from the club (or Malian medical officials) before making any sort of determination. But honestly, I was kind of looking forward to having Bissouma available again; if nothing else he added another cog to the midfield machine and we know he can at least make a forward pass.
