"I understand how serious this is and the health risks involved, and I also take my responsibility as a footballer and role model very seriously.鈥

Bissouma, who joined Spurs from Brighton for 拢30m in 2022, had played for 45 minutes in Spurs' friendly defeat against Bayern Munich earlier on Saturday afternoon.

鈥淲e are looking into the events," a Tottenham spokesperson said.

"This will be dealt with as an internal matter.鈥
