Spurs receive major boost: Micky van de Ven reveals return date during Darts appearance
Spurs have a huge boost as Micky van de Ven has confirmed his return date.
The 4-1 loss to Chelsea has kept the Dutch defender sidelined due to a hamstring problem. He was expected to be out until February after being forced off prior to halftime.
But according to recent rumors, he may be recuperating faster than expected and could make a quicker comeback.
Dr. Rajpal Brar, an expert in injuries, added that it’s possible the player will recover from his injury sooner than anticipated.
The player has now personally informed Tottenham supporters that he would return in two weeks.
Journalist Rob Maul claims that the former Wolfsburg player was there at the Darts, when he defeated retiring darts referee Russell Bray in a nine-dart challenge on the Ally Pally stage.
He later disclosed that he would return to training in two weeks.

Manager confirms Tottenham trio is back and available for selection
Giovani Lo Celso, Brennan Johnson, and Ashley Phillips are back and eligible for selection, according to Ange Postecoglou, giving Tottenham a boost ahead of their match against Everton.
Following the Newcastle match, Lo Celso sustained an injury that prevented him from playing against Nottingham Forest.
Brennan Johnson, meanwhile, was substituted out of the game in the first half after suffering a serious head injury against his old team. Fortunately, it was only a cut on his forehead and he will be back for the game this coming Saturday.
Ashley Phillips, a youthful defender that Spurs acquired from Blackburn in the summer, sustained an injury in November while playing for the England U18s abroad.
Speaking prior to the Everton match, Ange Postecoglou affirmed that all three players will be available for selection this next weekend.
In reference to the most recent team news, he stated (via Football London):
“Gio has returned. He’s alright. Except for the boys who are suspended, nobody from last week will be absent tomorrow. Gio has been trained for the past few days and is available; everyone else is well. Ashley Phillips is accessible as well.
Ange will benefit from Phillips’ return as he doesn’t currently have many choices for center defense. Without Micky van de Ven, the young defender might get a chance to play with the starting squad.
While Ange may use Kulusevski as an offensive weapon if necessary thanks to Lo Celso’s comeback. The Swede has been excellent since starting at number 10 in the last two games. However, Lo Celso has pleased Ange in the offensive midfield role in Maddison’s absence, and his presence also strengthens the team.
