Tottenham Hotspur are back in action this Sunday, taking on Fulham in a London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

After a stellar 4-0 victory against Manchester City last weekend, Ange Postecoglou’s men aim to keep their winning streak alive in the Premier League.

However, the week hasn’t been entirely smooth sailing for Spurs. Their midweek Europa League match against Roma ended in a frustrating 2-2 draw, despite taking the lead twice.

Now, with domestic competition on the horizon, fans are eager to see their team maintain momentum as the busy winter schedule approaches.

One of the key talking points ahead of the Fulham match is the progress of Micky van de Ven’s recovery.

The Dutch defender, who suffered an injury, was seen training individually at Hotspur Way, as revealed by photos shared on the club’s X account.

During last month’s win against Manchester City, Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven had to be subbed off just 10 minutes into the match after clearly pulling his hamstring.

The caption, "Every rep, every step," suggests that Van de Ven is making steady progress.

Although he’s not yet training with the squad, his presence on the pitch has thrilled fans, who are eager to see him return to action.

Postecoglou, however, is cautious about rushing him back, stating that Van de Ven is "still a couple of weeks away" and is targeting a mid-December return.

With fixtures piling up, managing his recovery carefully will be crucial for Tottenham’s defensive stability.

Team updates and the Fulham test

In addition to Van de Ven, Postecoglou provided updates on other players, including Cristian Romero and Dominic Solanke.

While their status remains unclear, the manager’s comments hint at a squad still navigating injuries and fitness concerns.

The Fulham match presents an opportunity for Spurs to build on their recent league success.

With Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski in fine form, fans will be hoping for another dominant display. However, Postecoglou will need to address defensive lapses that cost the team against Roma.

As Tottenham prepare for a hectic December, the return of key players like Van de Ven could make all the difference.

For now, Sunday’s clash against Fulham offers a chance to solidify their league position and continue thrilling fans with their high-energy football.

While injuries remain a concern, Postecoglou’s focus on resilience and adaptability will be vital in navigating the challenges ahead.
