Team News: Postecoglou reveals how long Maddison and Van de Ven will be out for
Ange Postecoglou has provided a team news update ahead of tomorrow afternoon’s match against Wolverhampton Wanderers during this afternoon’s press conference at Hotspur Way.
Tottenham make the trip to the Black Country to take on Wolves after an eventful Monday night fixture against Chelsea which saw them suffer their first Premier League defeat of the new campaign and also lose key players due to injury and suspension.
Tottenham injury news vs Wolves
Vice-captain Cristian Romero begins his three-match suspension after he was dismissed in the first half for a challenge on Enzo Fernandez, while Destiny Udogie showed a moment of inexperience in the second half when the Italian was given a second yellow card after he hacked down Raheem Sterling.
Such is the protocol, the media are informed of the availability of the Spurs squad ahead of the clash against Gary O’Neil’s side.
Spurs were also dealt an injury blow when Micky van de Ven was forced off in first-half stoppage time when he was left clutching the back of his right leg with a hamstring injury, while James Maddison also failed to finish the match.
Postecoglou told the media (Football London): “There’s a fair bit happened after Monday night. Micky with a hamstring injury we knew was fairly significant. We’re looking at a couple of months into the new year.
“Madders a lot worse than we first thought. Was bad the next day. Again into the New Year with him.
“Richarlison the operation that we had kind of scheduled anyway with the international break. With him a month out.
“We’ve got a couple of suspensions. Ben Davies is back and available. Pedro [Porro] is fine, he’s been training all week.”
