“Bissouma has been late several times, and this time the glass has filled. It has to give love to your players, but there must be requirements and consequences. And this was the consequence,” said Tottenham at the press conference, according to Sportal.bg.
The recently arriving João Palhinha, borrowed from Bayern Munich, could play instead of midfielder Malian Bissouma, although Tottenham will be deprived of James Maddison's services, who are experiencing an absence due to a break of cross ligaments.

Thomas Frank: “Now is the right time to face PSG”
The mandate of the new manager, Frank, could start with a trophy, if Tottenham manages to defeat the European champion, PSG, who was defeated by Chelsea in the final of the World Club Championship last month.
“We had a normal pre-season training, which would like any coach. This could be an advantage. On the other hand, they had a long season and they played many recently. It is now the right time to face PSG. We are prepared. I am 100% convinced that tomorrow will be a very disputed match.
But, of course, throughout the season, they are in a better position. But in a single match, we will be ready, “Frank commented.
Romero will be a very important and experienced player for the team. It will be very, very important to us tomorrow. Romero played in big finals and won them. He certainly knows how to win them.
