Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma has been suspended for their first Premier League match of the season after being caught inhaling laughing gas. The footage, which Bissouma originally posted to his private Snapchat, shows him in a chauffeured limousine inhaling nitrous oxide while laughing. Unfortunately, the video was leaked to the public just a week before Tottenham’s match against Leicester.
Bissouma quickly apologized for his actions, acknowledging his poor judgment. He admitted that he was aware of the risks involved with nitrous oxide and regretted making such a reckless decision.
Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou addressed the incident, expressing his disappointment in Bissouma’s behavior. He stated that while mistakes like this happen, Bissouma’s actions had let down not only himself but also the club, his teammates, and the fans.
As a result of the incident, Bissouma will be suspended from Monday’s game. Coach Postecoglou emphasized that Bissouma needs to work hard to regain trust by making better decisions moving forward. The club plans to educate Bissouma on the seriousness of his actions, helping him understand how his decisions affect others.
Though the suspension will keep him off the field for now, Tottenham hopes to support Bissouma as he learns from this mistake and works to rebuild relationships with the team.
