Spurs boss Thomas Frank has confirmed the midfielder has not travelled to Italy for their Super Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.

Last season’s Europa League winners take on the Champions League winners at the Stadio Friuli in Udine, just three days out from Saturday’s Premier League opener against Scott Parker’s side.

“Bissouma has not travelled with the team because of disciplinary reasons,” Frank said in a press conference on Tuesday evening.

When pressed for more information, the new Spurs boss added: “He's been late several times and now this time the latest time was one too many.
