<p>The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder missed the&nbsp;club’s&nbsp;Premier League clash against Manchester City on Tuesday after&nbsp;suffering&nbsp;a knee injury in training.</p>

<p>Spurs manager Ange Postecoglu confirmed&nbsp;Bissouma’s&nbsp;absence before the game and further stated that he has&nbsp;been ruled out&nbsp;for the rest of the season.</p>

<p><em>“Bissouma picked up a knee injury in the last game&nbsp;and&nbsp;he's&nbsp;out for the season,”&nbsp;</em>Postecoglu is quoted as saying by The Standard.</p>

<p>With Mali set to face Ghana in a World Cup qualifier on June 6, Bissouma now faces a race against time to be fit for the&nbsp;important&nbsp;game.</p>

<p>The full extent of the&nbsp;27-year-old’s&nbsp;knee injury is&nbsp;not yet&nbsp;unknown&nbsp;but&nbsp;two weeks seems after the end of the season like very little time for him to recover&nbsp;in time&nbsp;for the game against the Black Stars.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the Eagles currently occupy the second position in Group I of the CAF World Cup qualifiers after garnering four points from two games so far.</p>

<p>Ghana trail them by just a point, while Comoros surprisingly sit at the top of the table after winning&nbsp;each of&nbsp;their opening two qualifying matches.</p>

<p>The Black Stars,&nbsp;despite being without a win since the start of 2024, boast a strong home record and&nbsp;won’t&nbsp;be pushovers against Mali.</p>

<p>Otto&nbsp;Addo’s&nbsp;side disappointingly exited the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in the Ivory Coast at the group stage earlier this year.</p>

<p>They were also winless during the March international break after losing 2-1 to rivals Nigeria and being held to a 2-2 draw by Uganda.</p>

<p>Ghana will, however, need some good results in their next two World Cup qualifying matches to get their qualification hopes back on track.</p>
