Tottenham have been handed some welcome news on the injury front ahead of their Premier League clash with Manchester United, according to EPL Index.
Micky van de Ven had been a fresh worry after picking up a knock, adding to what's already been a difficult run of fitness problems for the north London side. However, the initial concern is understood to be relatively minor rather than anything serious, offering a boost to the squad as they prepare for a tough fixture against United.
With Spurs already dealing with a lengthy list of absentees, any positive update on the fitness front will be gratefully received by the coaching staff. The report suggests the situation will continue to be monitored, but there's cautious optimism that van de Ven's issue won't rule him out for an extended period.
Further details on the squad and team news are expected to emerge closer to kick-off as Tottenham look to manage their resources carefully for what promises to be a significant test against their Premier League rivals.
