Spurs Get Crucial Fitness Lift Ahead of Elfsborg Match

Micky van de Ven will play against IF Elfsborg on Thursday, according to Tottenham’s under-fire manager Ange Postecoglou. Dutch international 23-year-old has been out since Tottenham’s 4-3 home loss to Chelsea in early December hamstring injury.

Micky’s ok. We want his match minutes.”He’s had a good week, 10 days with the club “Postecoglou told reporters Wednesday.

After two lengthy hamstring injuries, Postecoglou said he would immediately bring back Van de Ven.

I’m calm—he’ll return. We’ve tried everything “Australian said. “He’s ticked every box and been given clearance by the medical team.”

James Maddison’s calf strain will keep him out for two or three weeks, and Cristian Romero’s return is doubtful for Tottenham. Forward Dominic Solanke and keeper Guglielmo Vicario are absent.

Tottenham have won only once in 11 Premier League matches and are 15th, but they can finish 8th in the Europa League and reach the last 16 on Thursday. Postecoglou’s team is sixth, and the top eight go to the knockouts. A draw against Swedish team Elfsborg might move them.

Next week, Tottenham will play Liverpool in the League Cup semi-final second leg and Aston Villa in the FA Cup fourth round. Tottenham’s Premier League season has been dreadful, but Swedish player Dejan Kulusevski thinks Postecoglou is the right man.

“Because we have had games when we showed perfect football, football that not many teams in the world can play, beautiful games like Man City away 4-0, so I think he’s the right man,” stated.

We want to win and I want to play his football, so I must fight for him. I trust football.”
