Spurs given optimistic Van de Ven update

The North London club is gearing up to face off against their long-standing rivals, Arsenal, as the Premier League action returns following the international break.

While Micky van de Ven missed Spurs’ defeat away to Newcastle United with a knee injury, he may be back soon.

Manager Postecoglou may be able to include the rapid defender in his starting lineup at the weekend.

Dr Rajpal Brar, who spoke to tottenhamhotspurnews.com, stated that the defender’s injury is not as serious as the club had initially anticipated.

The doctor said: “He injured the knee during a tussle in the Everton game and has been making progress since.

“Not exactly sure what the issue is but he was already close prior to the international break and the club were cautious with him – partly due to, as Ange referred, a heavy program following the break where Tottenham matches come thick and fast with multiple of them against top competition.”
