Tottenham Hotspur have a new injury concern once again. For central defender Micky van de Ven, the fastest player in the Premier League, it’s a second prolonged spell on the sidelines. This time the injury issue pertains to his knee, and his timeline for return hasn’t been determined as of yet.
‘I’m not sure; he doesn’t think it’s anything too significant,” said manager Ange Postecoglu of the Van de Ven injury.

“So disappointing for him because he was outstanding again up until that point.”
Elsewhere summer signing Manor Solomon (also a knee injury) is moving closer towards a return, but his comeback won’t happen until after the March international break.

It didn’t happen, and honestly, we don’t think it’s going to happen here either. We’ll likely see him after the internationals.
Finally, Fraser Forster is out until nearly May while Ryan Sessegnon is done for the remainder.
