On October 31, Tottenham secured a 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the EFL Cup round of 16, advancing to the quarter-finals. However, concerns have arisen over the injury to their starting defender, Van der Ven.
In this match, Van der Ven started for Tottenham at left-back. However, just 14 minutes into the game, he clutched his right hamstring and signaled that he was injured. After a brief medical assessment, Van der Ven was unable to continue and had to be substituted, shedding tears on the field.
Tottenham’s manager, Postecoglou, stated after the match, “Van der Ven had an issue with his hamstring. I haven’t received a full medical report yet, but he was clearly in discomfort, and we will see how it develops.”
Last season, Van der Ven missed about two months due to a hamstring injury. Additionally, Tottenham forward Werner was also substituted due to an injury during the match, while another central defender, Romero, was taken off in the 52nd minute of the second half due to fatigue.
