Blow for Spurs: Key midfielder expected to miss the League Cup game against Coventry City

Tottenham Hotspur will be without their key midfielder Yves Bissouma for the upcoming Carabao Cup tie against Coventry City, following an injury sustained during international duty with Mali.
Bissouma, who has been in excellent form for both club and country, suffered a groin injury in Mali's 1-0 win over Eswatini in the AFCON qualifiers, where he scored the only goal before being forced off in the second half.
Manager Ange Postecoglou recently provided an update on Bissouma's condition, confirming that the injury is not too serious. However, as reported by London World, Bissouma is expected to miss the game against Coventry City.
Bissouma's absence is a significant setback for Spurs, particularly given his recent impact on the pitch. The 28-year-old has been a standout performer in Tottenham's midfield, including scoring in the impressive 4-0 win over Everton last month.
His dynamic presence has earned praise, and the team will miss his influence as they seek to turn their form around after consecutive league defeats.
With Tottenham dropping to 13th in the Premier League standings, the Carabao Cup represents an opportunity for silverware this season.
Without Bissouma, the responsibility will fall on the backup midfield options, as Postecoglou navigates a busy schedule across multiple competitions. Spurs will hope they won't miss Bissouma too much and keep their cup run alive.
