“He’s the only ONE who can handle that Arsenal most dangerous player but unfortunately he has substained injury from today’s training, I’m finished”: Tottenham manager in tears as his only player who can perfectly handle £87m Arsenal player has substained injury from their final training today
Ange Postecoglou have provided an injury update on Micky van de Ven and Dominic Solanke ahead of the North London Derby this weekend. Tottenham Hotspur will host Arsenal at N17 in what is expected to be a fiery encounter.
Speaking to the official club website, the Lilywhites boss said: “It’s fairly positive. Micky’s good, he’s trained all the way through the international break and it was good for him to stay with us to build him back up so he’s ready to go.
“Dom’s improved as well and trained the back half of this week. We still have two days to go with those guys so hopefully they get through training ok and are available.”
While it is good news in regards to both Solanke and Van de Ven, question marks persist over Yves Bissouma’s participation in Sunday’s match after he was forced off in the second half of Mali’s win over Eswatini earlier in the week.
“We had the last of the boys in late yesterday so we’ll have a look at them today and everyone’s reporting all well except for Biss,” Postecoglou told SPURSPLAY. “He’s got a bit of an issue, but we’ll have a look at him over the next couple of days and see how it settles.”
Two players who won’t feature in the match, though, are Richarlison and Will Lankshear as they continue to work their way back to full fitness. Postecoglou said: “Richy’s still got a bit of work to do, alongside Will Lankshear who is still in rehab.”
