It is a big blow to boss Antonio Conte, who only returned to work himself on Thursday following his own operation last week to remove his gallbladder.
Bissouma’s spell on the sideline will coincide with a busy period for Tottenham, who face FA Cup and Champions League fixtures during the next month.

The injury for Bissouma, who was spotted at the training ground on Thursday on crutches and in a protective boot, is the latest setback in a difficult first season at Tottenham.
Since a summer switch from Brighton, the Mali international has made just nine starts in all competitions.
