Yves Bissouma, the talented midfielder from Tottenham Hotspur, recently made headlines for his exclusion from Mali’s national team squad by head coach Eric Chelle. The decision has left Bissouma frustrated, leading to him unfollowing the Malian Football Federation page on Instagram and deleting all his pictures in the Mali jersey.
The controversy arose during the last international break when several Tottenham players left to represent their national teams. Despite his consistent performances for Spurs, Bissouma was notably absent from Mali’s squad selection. This move sparked speculation and debate among fans and pundits alike.
In response to the exclusion, head coach Eric Chelle explained that while Bissouma deserves to be selected, he opted for other players whom he considered more suitable for the squad. Chelle emphasized that it was simply a choice based on current team dynamics and strategy.
Bissouma’s absence from the squad has raised questions about his future with the national team. However, Chelle reassured that this decision does not mean that Bissouma will not be called up in the future. The coach acknowledged the midfielder’s talent and contributions to the team in past matches.
Despite the disappointment of missing out on international duty, Bissouma continues to be a key player for Tottenham Hotspur. Under manager Ange Postecoglou, he has established himself as a vital part of the team’s midfield, alongside Pape Matar Sarr. His performances in the Premier League have been consistent and impressive, further highlighting his value as a player.
As the football world awaits Mali’s next squad announcement, the spotlight remains on Bissouma and his future international prospects. Will he earn a recall to the national team, or will his exclusion continue to be a point of contention? Only time will tell.
