Positive injury update for Micky van de Ven of Tottenham

Summary

Tottenham has received an encouraging injury report on Micky van de Ven following an incident during international duty. The defender appeared to be in significant discomfort after having his hand stepped on in the match against Serbia. However, Netherlands coach Xavi reassured that the injury is not serious, stating Van de Ven experienced dizziness but is otherwise fine. This update is particularly welcome for Tottenham, who are dealing with another injury concern regarding Jan Paul van Hecke, who withdrew from international duty last week.
