Tottenham’s struggles without van de Ven
Tottenham Hotspur have been forced to navigate a challenging period in the absence of Micky van de Ven, who has been sidelined for well over a month due to a hamstring injury.
The Dutch centre-back’s last appearance came in early December during Tottenham’s 4-3 defeat to Chelsea.
As Tottenham’s form has faltered in recent weeks, fans have been eagerly awaiting updates on the return of key players. Yesterday, a glimmer of hope emerged as van de Ven was spotted engaging in light outdoor training—a positive sign that his return to full fitness may not be far away.

Micky van de Ven is back in Tottenham training
Today, the good news on the injury front continues as Tottenham Hotspur released a video on their official X account, showing the centre-back participating in a training session with the first team. The footage was accompanied by the caption “Micky is back in training 💪,”
The video captured van de Ven looking sharp and focused as he joined his teammates in drills, suggesting that his recovery is progressing well.
This development comes as a relief for Ange Postecoglou, who has struggled to find consistent defensive stability in the absence of his Dutch defender.
