Sky Sports claim 22-year-old Tottenham player is not in first-team training today
Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has been putting his players through their paces ahead of their final Premier League game before Christmas.
On Tuesday, Sky Sports News were covering a Spurstraining session, and there were good news and bad news for Tottenham fans ahead of Saturday’s meeting with Everton.
In terms of good news, Tottenham forward Brennan Johnson was amongst the players taking part in training at Hotspur Way.
However, Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven was nowhere to be seen, suggesting he’s still some way from returning to action.
The 22-year-old picked up a hamstring injury in the defeat to Chelsea and is not expected to play again until the New Year.

Sky Sports journalist Jamie Weir admitted that there were hopes Van de Ven would finally be out on the grass, but that’s still not the case.
He said: “I’m afraid, Spurs fans watching, we were hoping we might see Micky van de Ven out on the grass but obviously a bit too early for Van de Ven.
“There were murmurings that Van de Ven was targeting a return in the FA Cup game against Burnley in the first weekend in January but what’s that now? Twenty days away and he’s not out there just yet.”
Tottenham will not want to rush Micky van de Ven back
The signing of Van de Ven has been one of multiple masterstrokes by Ange Postecoglou to quickly drag Tottenham out of the banter zone.
However, if he’s still not back on the grass, sadly it means we probably won’t see him for a while yet.
Even once he does become available, Spurs will likely not want to rush him back, in case he aggravates his issue or suffers a relapse.
Tottenham fans will know all too well that these injuries can easily reoccur as the likes of Ryan Sessegnon and Dele Alli struggled with similar issues.
