Ange Postecoglou has explained why Micky van de Ven is not in the Tottenham squad for their Premier League trip to Brentford. Van de Ven returned against Elfsborg on Thursday after a long period out with his latest hamstring injury. The Dutch defender played 45 minutes before he was taken off in a pre-planned half-time substitution. But Van de Ven was missing when the Spurs squad was named at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday.
Speaking to Sky Sports before the game, Postecoglou said: “We're just trying to manage his minutes. “It is a quick turnaround and I spoke with the medical team and Micky to give him another week of training to be ready in another week.”. Spurs have a big week coming up, with the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final at Liverpool on Thursday before an FA Cup fourth-round tie at Aston Villa next Sunday.
