‘Not as significant’: Ange Postecoglou has just delivered an encouraging update on Tottenham player | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has given an update on Micky van de Ven ahead of the match against Manchester United tomorrow.

Spurs will take on Premier League rivals United at home in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup on Thursday evening.

Postecoglou held a pre-match press conference on Wednesday afternoon, and the Tottenham boss had some very encouraging news on Van de Ven.

Injury update on Micky van de Ven

The centre-back is on the sidelines at the moment due to injury, but Postecoglou has said that he should be back in a few weeks.

When asked about Van de Ven and Cristian Romero, Postcoglou said (via football.london): “I think both will be in the new year.

“Not as significant an injury as last time with Micky, but obviously having a setback. The medical team is going to make sure he is right to go.”

Good news for Tottenham Hotspur

Postecoglou’s update on Van de Ven’s situation is very positive for Tottenham fans. It seems that the defender is recovering well and will be back in action before long.

The 23-year-old will not feature against United and is unlikely to play against Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League this month.

However, he should be fit and ready to go from the start of 2025.

Van de Ven is one of the first names on the Tottenham teamsheet when he is available. He is one of the quickest players in the Premier League, and his pace allows Spurs to play a high line.

While Archie Gray and Radu Dragusin have done well in central defence, there is no doubt that Van de Ven and Romero are the number one centre-backs at Tottenham

Van de Ven’s return in January will enhance Tottenham’s chances of doing well in the second half of the season and finishing in the top four of the Premier League.
