Tottenham Hotspur’s impressive run of three consecutive Premier League wins came to an end as they failed to overturn a one-goal deficit against reigning champions Manchester City. With the Europa League now their only remaining shot at silverware, the outlook appears bleak for the Lilywhites. However, there is a silver lining—manager Ange Postecoglou has provided positive injury updates on Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Dominic Solanke, and Richarlison, confirming that all four are making progress in their recoveries.
Tottenham’s starting lineup took a major hit when Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero suffered injuries during the London derby following their defeat against Chelsea on December 8. Meanwhile, Dominic Solanke has been sidelined for an extended period after sustaining a knee injury at the end of January, while Richarlison picked up a calf injury after a fall against Liverpool.
Now, all four players have reason to celebrate as they edge closer to their return, a significant boost for Ange Postecoglou at a crucial stage in Tottenham’s season. With the final stretch approaching, their recoveries could prove vital in Spurs’ push for success.

It’s no exaggeration to say Tottenham have struggled in the absence of their key players. While pundits and the media are quick to criticize Ange Postecoglou for recent results, they often overlook the impact of missing starters. Speaking to Tottenham Hotspur’s official website, the Spurs boss revealed that Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Dominic Solanke, and Richarlison are expected to return from injury within the next week to ten days.
Postecoglou confirmed that the quartet is targeting a comeback either for the Europa League clash against AZ Alkmaar or the Premier League fixture against AFC Bournemouth. He added that while some players have already resumed training, they will be gradually reintegrated into the squad over the coming days.

A couple of them are already training but, over that period, we’ll start incorporating them back into matchday squads.”
