Spurs Star Ruled Out of Newcastle Clash Despite Starting Last Two Games

Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe has revealed that Micky van de Ven has been ruled out of Tottenham Hotspur’s clash against Newcastle United this afternoon.

Van de Ven’s Injury Concern

Micky van de Ven went down hurt during the first half of Tottenham’s 4-0 win over Everton last week. Although the Dutchman appeared to shake off the knock and continued playing in the second half without any visible discomfort, concerns about his fitness arose later.

Training Absence Raises Concerns

The center-back was notably absent from the training video released by the club earlier this week, sparking speculation that he might miss the trip to St James’ Park.

Postecoglou’s Initial Assurance

Ange Postecoglou seemed confident a couple of days ago, indicating that Van de Ven was expected to be available for the match. He mentioned that only Dominic Solanke and Richarlison had been ruled out.

Van de Ven Misses Newcastle Clash

However, it has now been confirmed that Van de Ven has not recovered in time, which is a significant blow to Spurs as they prepare for their crucial encounter against Newcastle.
