Yves Bissouma and Fraser Forster to be left in South Korea and will not fly back with Tottenham squad amid Covid battle | The Sun

YVES BISSOUMA and Fraser Forster will travel back separately from the rest of Tottenham’s touring party of South Korea following their positive Covid tests.

The pair of summer signings have been isolating in Spurs’ team hotel in Seoul since Tuesday after returning positive PCR tests, which are required within three days of entering the country.

Government guidelines require anyone who tests positive to isolate for seven days.

It saw them miss Wednesday’s 6-3 friendly win over Team K-League and also ruled them out of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Sevilla.

And it will also mean they cannot fly home with the rest of the squad on Sunday.

Instead they are due to return to the UK on Tuesday.

Bissouma and Forster were two of Tottenham’s earliest signings this summer, having both been brought in from South Coast Premier League clubs.

Mali midfielder Bissouma, 25, joined for around £30million from Brighton.

While England goalkeeper Forster, 34, arrived on a free transfer from Southampton.

They have been exercising in their rooms during their isolation period.
