Ange Postecoglou has confirmed Micky van de Ven is set return from injury for Tottenham against Elfsborg in the Europa League on Thursday. Van de Ven has been out since suffering his latest hamstring injury in the 4-3 defeat to Chelsea on December 8.

Tottenham centre-back Micky van de Ven will make his comeback in Thursday’s Europa League tie at home to Elfsborg. Van de Ven has not featured for Spurs since a 4-3 loss to Chelsea on December 8, which was his first appearance in five weeks following a hamstring strain.

Last month, Van de Ven issued an injury update by captioning his Instagram post: “On the way.” Now, Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe has revealed that Van de Ven is “on course to be included in Thursday’s squad” for his side’s contest against IF Elsborg in the Europa League.

Tottenham have confirmed that Micky van de Ven has returned to first-team training. The centre-back has been out with a hamstring injury he was forced off in the defeat to Chelsea in early December.

Tottenham Hotspur's under-fire manager Ange Postecoglou finally had some better injury news as he confirmed defender Micky van de Ven will feature against IF Elfsborg on Thursday.
