Yves Bissouma will be part of Tottenham's squad for their Premier League opener against Burnley. Bissouma was excluded from the UEFA Super Cup match due to disciplinary reasons. Last season, he played 28 Premier League matches, achieving a tackle success rate of 63.3%. Richarlison will also be fit for the upcoming game after fitness concerns, while Destiny Udogie is not yet ready to return. Managing the players' fitness is a priority as they prepare for the new season.
"Bissouma was a situation. I addressed it, there was a consequence. He will be in the squad tomorrow," said Frank.
"I think Richy [Richarlison] was really phenomenal [against PSG], his hold-up play, his intensity, his arriving in the box was top. Of course we're aware of his fitness situation, that is why we have monitored him closely - that's why he didn't play in the first [pre-season] game at Reading, but he is on it.
"Every player who was available [on Wednesday] is available for the team. Destiny [Udogie] is progressing but it's too early for him to be involved in the squad."
