Bissouma Omitted from Spurs' UEFA Super Cup Match; Premier League Arranging Tributes for Jota
Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has made a tough decision ahead of the club's UEFA Super Cup showdown against Paris Saint-Germain. Midfielder Yves Bissouma has been left out of the squad due to repeated instances of lateness during the offseason.
Frank explained that Bissouma's tardiness culminated in a final instance that was "one too many," leading to the decision not to include him for the match as a consequence. The manager emphasized the need to balance understanding for players with demands and consequences, indicating that this disciplinary action was necessary to maintain team standards.
Bissouma did not travel with the team to Udine for the Super Cup game, and the club will address the issue further when they return home, according to Frank.
The UEFA Super Cup showdown against Paris Saint-Germain is considered a massive game for Tottenham Hotspur by Frank and the club. The match is emphasized by Thomas Frank as being important, with a focus on structure and discipline on the pitch.
Apart from this development, no other transfer updates were presented in the current paragraph. The Premier League will hold moments of silence at all matches this weekend in memory of Diogo Jota and André Silva, who tragically died in a car crash in July. Liverpool and Wolves have planned individual commemorations during their respective openers against Bournemouth and Manchester City.
In addition, players will wear black armbands, and tributes will be displayed on stadium screens. Wreaths were laid by Ian Rush, Palace chairman Steve Parish, and FA chair Debbie Hewitt during the minute's silence at Wembley before Liverpool's Community Shield clash with Crystal Palace. The minute's silence was held at Wembley before the game, albeit disrupted.
Meanwhile, no new facts about the match between Tottenham and Arsenal in Hong Kong or Chukwueze's performance in Milan's 9-0 win were presented in the current paragraph.

Thomas Frank sees opportunities rather than pressure in the match against Paris Saint-Germain, aiming to have a clear structure in the initial and middle phases of the game, intending to control the game and score in the final phase. Liverpool and Wolves have similar goals for their respective openers against Bournemouth and Manchester City, with a focus on structure and discipline on the pitch.
