Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou issues Micky van de Ven injury update ahead of Aston Villa trip Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou expects both Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero to miss Sunday’s trip to Aston Villa in the FA Cup fourth round.
By the start of next week we’re still hopeful we get one or two back for the Manchester United game, provided we don’t lose anyone else like we did Richy last night.
The centre-back pair have returned to training, and Van de Ven played 45 minutes against Elfborg last week but has not featured since.
Postecoglou said before the Carabao Cup loss to Liverpool that the club were being cautious with the pair, having lost Radu Dragusin to injury for the rest of the season.
“I knew this week was a challenging week because we weren’t going to get anyone back.
