Tottenham's James Maddison and Micky van de Ven Sidelined Until New Year Due to Injuries

Maddison's ankle injury and van de Ven's hamstring injury, both sustained during a match against Chelsea, are worse than initially expected, leaving Tottenham's squad depleted and potentially impacting their Premier League standing.

Tottenham Hotspur's James Maddison and Micky van de Ven are expected to be out until the New Year due to injuries sustained during a match against Chelsea.
Maddison's ankle injury is worse than initially expected, leading to his withdrawal from the England squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia.
Van de Ven, who has been a standout performer this season, suffered a significant hamstring injury and is expected to be out until January at the earliest.
The injuries to key players, along with suspensions for Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie, leave Tottenham's squad depleted and could potentially impact their Premier League standing.
Despite the injuries, Tottenham's head coach Ange Postecoglou sees this as an opportunity for second-string players like Giovani Lo Celso, Bryan Gil, Oliver Skipp and Eric Dier to step up and impress.
