Micky van de Ven has declared himself “fully fit” and “ready” to face Manchester United at the weekend. The Dutch international has been out of action since picking up a hamstring injury in the 4-1 defeat to Chelsea in October.
The injury came at a bad time for Tottenham, with James Maddison also going off injured in that game. he has also not been seen on the pitch since.
Cristian Romero picked up a three-game suspension in that same clash and has since picked up an injury too, which has ruled him out of action since the win over Everton just before Christmas.
With Son Heung-min, Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr away on international duty, Spurshave a plethora of first-team stars unavailable for action as they prepare to face Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday. But van de Ven is ready to return to the pitch.
Speaking after the FA Cup third round win over Burnley, during which he was an unused substitute, the Dutchman sent a message to head coach Ange Postecoglou. Speaking to Hayters, he said: “I’m really happy to be back, always a good feeling to be back with the squad again, next week a big game is coming, so hopefully I will get some minutes. I’m fully fit, no pain anymore, so I think I’m ready.”
Van de Ven could have a new partner in the centre of defence is he is given the nod to start against United. That is because Spurs are in advanced talks with Genoa over a move for Radu Dragusin.
