The Spurs midfielder has made a shocking move on social media amidst the International break snub.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma has made headlines on social media as he unfollowed the Instagram channel of the federation Malienne de Football and seemingly removed all photos featuring the Mali jersey from his profile.
This move comes after the Mali international was notably absent from the squad selected for the international break fixtures against Mauritania and Nigeria.

Report: Arsenal eye shocking move for Tottenham's Bissouma

Bissouma has now furiously reacted to the latest snub by taking a drastic action on his Instagram page.
Discontent Amidst Snub: Bissouma's Absence Raises Questions
Mali coach Sekou Chelle's decision not to include Yves Bissouma in the national team roster has stirred controversy.
Chelle reportedly justified the exclusion by stating that Bissouma's fit within his tactical system fell slightly below other players.
Despite being a consistent performer for Tottenham Hotspur under Ange Postecoglou's management in the Premier League this season, the 27-year-old former Brighton star, originally from Ivory Coast, was overlooked for international duty.
Bissouma featured for Spurs last weekend, after the North Londoners were embarrassed 3-0 away at Fulham in the Premier League.
As Mali prepares to face Mauritania and Nigeria in upcoming friendly fixtures, Bissouma's absence raises questions about the selection process and player-coach dynamics within the national team setup.
Mali will head to Marrakech to face Mauritania in a friendly on Friday, March 22, before another friendly fixture against the Super Eagles of Nigeria on Tuesday, March 26.
