Boost for Ghana as Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma is ruled out of Mali game

Mali's midfield will be missing a crucial component as Yves Bissouma is set to miss the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifier against Ghana.

This development comes as a significant advantage for the Black Stars and their supporters, who are eager for a victory in Bamako to rejuvenate their aspirations for the USA 2026.

Bissouma encountered the injury during Tottenham's 2-1 victory over Burnley on Saturday, May 11, 2024.

The injury is severe enough to sideline the midfielder for the remainder of the season, rendering him unavailable for the match in Bamako.

Tottenham's coach Ange Postecoglou confirmed the unfortunate news, stating, "Bissouma sustained a knee injury in the last match and is ruled out for the season."

At 27, Bissouma's role is pivotal for Mali and the Eagles, and his absence represents a significant setback for the team.

Ghana, which is currently in fourth place in Group I with three points, is determined to make a strong comeback to sustain their chances of qualifying after a start that has seen mixed results.
