Yves Bissouma and Fraser Forster flight decision made after Korea Covid tests

Tottenham's pre-season tour of South Korea is brought to you in association with Nord VPN, sponsors of football.london's coverage.

Tottenham duo Yves Bissouma and Fraser Forster will fly back to the UK on Tuesday morning when their isolation ends in South Korea.

Korean entry requirements dictate that you must perform a Covid test before departure to the country and then a PCR test within 72 hours of arriving in South Korea. The entire Spurs squad underwent both tests but both Bissouma and Forster's tests on Tuesday last week returned positive results.

The two new signings then had to isolate in the team hotel and were allowed fitness equipment in their room in order to maintain some semblance of fitness although for Bissouma especially it will be nothing close to the work the former Brighton midfielder was being put through by Antonio Conte on the training pitches in Seoul.

The duo missed the 6-3 victory against Team K League and will also miss Saturday's friendly match against Sevilla at the Suwon World Cup Stadium.

The Tottenham squad fly back home from Incheon International Airport on Sunday afternoon and Bissouma and Forster will fly out on Tuesday morning, returning on Tuesday evening UK time. The rest of the squad will return to training on Tuesday after a day off on Monday following their likely jet-lagged return.
