Yves Bissouma will return to Tottenham’s squad for Saturday’s Premier League opener against Burnley after a recent disciplinary matter.
The midfielder missed Spurs’ UEFA Super Cup defeat to Paris Saint-Germain after arriving late “several times” during the summer.
Thomas Frank confirmed the matter had been addressed.
“Bissouma, there was a situation. I addressed this. There was a consequence. Bissouma will be in the squad tomorrow, move forward and we have a big game tomorrow,” he revealed.
“You deal with these situations internally. It’s dealt with, and I’m looking forward. It’s a big game tomorrow, and that’s where the main focus should be.”
When asked if disciplining the 28-year-old was about setting standards, Frank replied: “Yeah, you can say that, but I’ve done exactly the same at Brentford and other places I’ve worked before.
“I just have certain standards and demands. Players need a lot of love, and there needs to be a lot of demands, and there also needs to be consequences if the demands are not reached, and in this case there was a consequence.”
The North London side will be hoping to start their opening campaign on the right foot with a victory over the newly-promoted team.
