Tottenham Hotspur’s defensive stalwart, Micky van de Ven, has reassured fans about any injury concerns following his late substitution in the match against Manchester United.

Making a return to action after a two-month hiatus due to a hamstring injury, Van de Ven, alongside Cristian Romero, showcased defensive prowess that contributed to Spurs’ resilience in the draw.

Despite being substituted in the final minutes due to cramp, the centre-back affirmed in a post-match interview that the issue was not serious and attributed it to the high intensity of the game after an extended absence.

Van de Ven’s return to the starting lineup bodes well for Spurs as they aim to regain their earlier form under Ange Postecoglou’s leadership.

The manager is likely to be satisfied with the defender’s performance and the team’s defensive effort, emphasizing Van de Ven’s valuable contributions in adapting to high-intensity matches.
