Tottenham star Micky van de Ven breaks silence on injury return ahead of Aston Villa

Micky van de Ven was injured during Tottenham’s 2-1 win over Manchester City. He played only 13 minutes in the Carabao Cup match. This injury is a hamstring issue, similar to one he suffered last year that kept him out for over two months. Van de Ven received treatment on the field before leaving, appearing emotional. He grabbed the back of his right leg after a tackle.

After the game, manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed Van de Ven felt something in his hamstring. He said they would check on him soon. Postecoglou has been cautious about using Van de Ven at left-back due to his previous injuries. He mentioned the physical demands of that position are high.

Less than a day later, Van de Ven posted on Instagram, saying “Back soon” alongside a photo from the game. This raises concerns about his availability for upcoming matches. Tottenham has three games in a week, starting with a crucial match against Aston Villa.

In addition to Van de Ven, Tottenham also substituted Cristian Romero and Timo Werner during the match. Postecoglou explained that Romero felt tired, and he considered substituting him at halftime. However, after losing Van de Ven, he chose to keep Romero on for the time being. He was relieved to have Ben Davies available as a backup.
