Micky van de Ven ruled out for 2023 following hamstring injury

Micky van de Ven injured himself against Chelsea

Following his hamstring injury, Tottenham Hotspur star Micky van de Ven is probably not going to have surgery. Spurs suffered a serious injury setback despite this, as Van van Ven will be unable to play this season.

The Telegraph reports that preliminary data suggests the centre back won't return until "at the earliest" January.

The Evening Standard claims that the Netherlands international will probably undergo surgery and will instead engage with the medical professionals at Hotspur Way to further his recovery.

The 22-year-old seemed to have pulled his hamstring in the opening half of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium's thrilling rivalry against Chelsea on Monday.

After sustaining an injury in the opening minute of the final period, Van van Ven—who cost £43 million to acquire from Wolfsburg last summer—was scarcely able to stand as physios helped him to the dressing room.

Tottenham faced a difficult match against the Blues, who won 4-1 to snap their Premier League winning streak.

Van van Ven's blow caused coach Ange Postecoglou's injury list to balloon dramatically, as top player James Maddison also left the game with an ankle strain.

In the physical therapy room Ivan Perisic, Manor Solomon, Ryan Sessegnon, and Maddison, join. Even worse, Richarlison disclosed that he is scheduled to undergo operations on his pelvis.

Due to the dismissals of Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie, Postecoglou's team is now severely thinned out. Romero was given a three-game suspension, and Udogie received a one-match ban.

The Australian strategist may have to use Ashley Phillips, who is eighteen, to partner with Eric Dier because he is now severely short on centre-backs.

Playing players out of position, such as Ben Davies, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, or Emerson Royal, provides an additional choice.
