Tottenham Hotspur’s injury battle continued throughout the season, with a surprising number of players sidelined due to various issues.
Among the players who have had bad luck with injuries is star summer signing Micky van de Ven.
Van de Ven suffered an injury in Tottenham’s recent win over Aston Villa, aggravating a hamstring problem that kept him out for two months at the start of the season.
Initial assessments suggest the injury is not serious, but there are concerns about the defender’s fitness ahead of upcoming matches.
Injury expert weighs in on Tottenham defender’s condition
Injury expert Dr. Rajpal Brar discussed Van de Ven’s condition and highlighted the possible severity of the injury, saying that even if the Dutchman misses just one or two games, It suggested Grade 2 of the four injuries was likely.
However, given Van de Ven’s history of hamstring problems and the high recurrence rate associated with such injuries, the club may opt for a conservative approach to his rehabilitation.
He said Van de Ven’s availability for future matches, including the crucial game against Luton, would depend on his progress in training during the break.
A fitness test may be required on game day to ensure you are ready to return to the game.
he said tottenham news:
“If he only misses one or two games, it’s probably a Grade 2 injury out of 4.
“It’s difficult to give further information as no timeline has been shared, but the club may be conservative as he has a history of hamstring injuries and a high recurrence rate. This week might not put him at risk.”
“His availability depends on how he trained during the holidays.
“A fitness test may be required on game day to ensure you are fit to play.”
Tottenham have a packed schedule with them playing twice in the next three days.
Coach Ange Postecoglou is counting on Van de Ven’s speedy recovery to strengthen the team’s defense at this crucial stage of the season.
