Ahead of this weekend’s North London Derby, Ange Postecoglou has issued an injury update on Micky van de Ven and Dominic Solanke. Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur will square off at N17 in what should be an explosive match.
Speaking on the official Lilywhites website, the manager stated: “It’s pretty positive.” Micky is doing well; he trained through the international break, and being with us helped him regain his strength and prepare for action.Dom has also gotten better, working out during this week’s latter part. With those individuals, we still have two days left, so hopefully they make it through training without incident and are accessible.
While Solanke and Van de Ven’s status is positive, there are still concerns about Yves Bissouma’s ability to play on Sunday after he was substituted during the second half of Mali’s victory over Eswatini earlier in the week.
Postecoglou informed SPURSPLAY, “We had the last of the boys in late yesterday so we’ll have a look at them today and everyone’s reporting well except for Biss.” “He has a small problem, but we’ll examine him over the course of the next few days to see how things work out.”
However, Richarlison and Will Lankshear will not play in the game as they continue to recover from injuries. “Richy’s still got a bit of work to do, alongside Will Lankshear who is still in rehab,” stated Postecoglou.
