Ange Postecoglou says Micky van de Ven could return for Tottenham in Thursday’s Europa League tie against Elfsborg, while James Maddison is expected to be sidelined for between two and three with a calf injury.

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 Hotspur have been given a huge boost ahead of their clash against Liverpool. Next week, Arne Slot and Ange Postecoglou will lock horns at Anfield in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg, with a place in the final at Wembley Stadium up for grabs.
