Tottenham Hotspur’s promising talent, Micky van de Ven, has recently sparked worry among fans after sustaining an injury during a crucial match. After being absent from the squad in their recent match, fans have been concerned about the severity of his condition. So, what happened to van de Ven, and when will he return?
Here is everything to know about Micky van de Ven’s injury.
What injury is Micky van de Ven suffering from?
Micky van de Ven injured himself during the Tottenham Hotspur F.C. against Newcastle United. The incident occurred just before halftime when he competed for the ball with Dwight McNeil and appeared to jar his knee as he planted his right foot back on the ground. The discomfort was evident, but the Dutch defender managed to stay on the field. He even made a crucial run from the edge of his own area that set up Son Heung-min’s second goal. However, van de Ven was unexpectedly left out of the squad for the match at St. James’ Park, with Radu Dragusin stepping into his role.
When will Micky van de Ven return to play with Tottenham Hotspur F.C.?
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has reassured fans by downplaying the severity of Micky van de Ven’s injury. He stated that it’s “nothing serious,” suggesting that the Dutch defender is expected to recover in time to face Arsenal.
Postecoglou said, “Micky was close in training this week, but with the international break, he’s not quite 100 percent. Part of me was keen to give Radu a run, especially at this venue, so yeah, we’re going with Radu today.”
With van de Ven sidelined for the match against Newcastle, Tottenham finds themselves notably short-handed at center-back. Radu Dragusin steps into the lineup to pair with Cristian Romero in central defense, leaving Ben Davies as the primary backup. (via Metro)
