Hotspurs reveal Micky van de Ven as a new injury addition

An update on Micky van de Ven’s injury, who was pulled off against Chelsea in their 4-1 loss on Monday night.

The Dutch defender suffered a hamstring injury just before halftime, and it did not seem good from the start.

He was seen on crutches after the game, with Ange conceding that his injury is “significant.” He is expected to be out for the “foreseeable future.”

He was spotted in the gym with the rest of the guys days later, giving Spurs fans hope, however Paul O Keefe clarified that even injured players report in, which would explain his attendance.

Tottenham have delayed his initial scan for the time being, and while surgery may not be necessary, he is still’set for a lengthy spell out’ on the sidelines, according to Matt Law.

According to him, he might be out until January at the earliest, but Spurs will provide a more specific timeline after the scans are completed.

He said:

“Tottenham fear Micky van de Ven is set for a lengthy spell out injured, despite hoping he will not require surgery.”

“Estimates suggest Van de Ven could be out until January at the earliest, although Tottenham are yet to put a firm timescale on his return and delayed an initial scan.”

This is hardly the news that Tottenham fans wanted to hear. Micky van de Ven has been one of Tottenham’s star performances since signing from Wolfsburg in the summer.

Van de Ven has quickly bolstered Tottenham’s defense, adapting to the Premier League’s rugged and aggressive mentality. His defensive tandem with Cristian Romero has proven to be one of the best in the league.

His impact has been lauded by a number of experts, including William Gallas, who considers him the “best signing of the season.”

The 22-year-old’s absence will undoubtedly be a big setback for Ange in his pursuit of a top-four finish and beyond.
