“Six Crucial Tottenham Clashes Micky Van de Ven May Miss Due to Injury”
Tottenham Hotspur’s defensive injury crisis deepens as key players Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero face extended spells on the sidelines.
Romero is already set to miss six weeks after sustaining an injury during Tottenham’s dramatic 4-3 loss to Chelsea. Now, van de Ven, who had recently returned from injury, is also expected to be out for 2-3 weeks following what appears to be a recurrence of his previous issue.
The Dutch defender was initially withdrawn against Chelsea due to what was thought to be fatigue, but insider reports have since pointed to a more serious concern. Ange Postecoglou, in a recent press conference, refrained from providing a definitive timeline, stating the club is still assessing the full extent of the injuries.
Matches Micky van de Ven Could Miss
Should van de Ven’s absence last three weeks, he is likely to miss the following fixtures:
Rangers (A) – UEFA Europa League
Southampton (A) – Premier League
Manchester United (H) – Carabao Cup
Liverpool (H) – Premier League
Nottingham Forest (A) – Premier League
Wolves (H) – Premier League
Spurs’ Defensive Woes
With both van de Ven and Romero unavailable, Tottenham will rely on a makeshift pairing of Radu Dragusin and Archie Gray. While Dragusin has shown promise, and Gray is gaining experience, the absence of the established duo leaves a significant void in Spurs’ backline.
These injuries come at a critical juncture in Tottenham’s season, with the team fighting to maintain momentum in both domestic and European competitions. Spurs’ adaptability and defensive resilience will be severely tested in the coming weeks, and their ability to secure results during this challenging period could shape the trajectory of their season.
