Tottenham will be without Micky van de Ven for Saturday’s Premier League trip to Fulham, but Richarlison could be available after he returned to training this week following a knee injury.

Van de Ven was forced off in last weekend’s 4-0 win at Aston Villa with a suspected hamstring injury and while he will sit out Saturday’s clash, he could be back for the visit of Luton on March 30 after the international break.

‘Micky, nothing too significant,’ Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou revealed.

‘He’ll miss tomorrow but with the international break we don’t think he’ll miss much more.

‘Richy trained today and we’ll see how he pulls up. If he pulls up well, he’ll be involved tomorrow.’

With Van de Ven sidelined for this weekend, Postecoglou confirmed that £25million January signing Radu Dragusin would start in his place. 

‘I’ll take the suspense out of it. He’ll start tomorrow,’ the Australian added.

Since arriving at Tottenham, the Romanian has had to wait for game time, with Dragusin making only four appearances for Tottenham.
