Tottenham Stars Bissouma, Tel Omitted From Champions League Squad

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma is likely to leave the club following a fallout with manager Thomas Frank, who has excluded him from key squads due to unprofessional conduct and tactical preferences. Bissouma's diminished role, especially after the arrival of Joao Palhinha, combined with his repeated lateness to training, has led the club to consider transferring him to leagues in Saudi Arabia or Turkey before his contract expires. Meanwhile, young attacker Mathys Tel has publicly expressed disappointment after being omitted from Tottenham's 22-man Champions League squad, a decision attributed to the club's lack of homegrown players and strong competition for attacking positions. Tel revealed that Frank personally informed him of the exclusion, and although it 'definitely hurts,' he remains optimistic and committed to proving his worth to the team. Despite limited playing time this season and increased competition from new signings like Randal Kolo Muani, Tel insists he has no desire to leave Tottenham and will strive to earn a place in the starting lineup. Both players’ situations highlight the challenging transitional phase at Tottenham under Thomas Frank’s management amid squad restructuring.
