Yeah I remember Sarr crying as he went off against Bournemouth last season as he thought he would miss the AFCON - think he was playing 10 days later.
My guess is that we won’t risk Micky now until after the international break

Reckon we will sell Romero this summer and buy 2 new CBs
If they were say Guehi Hincapie orTapsoba I'd do that deal immediately
Yes, in hindsight would've been better if Udogie had started on the left. And if Micky is injured it limits our ability to play the high line anyway.
Ange has to start doing a better job managing Micky’s minutes. It’s become a necessity. If that means starting Dragusin in some PL games even when VdV is “healthy” then so be it. You don’t only buy cover for when a player is injured but also to prevent injury-causing fatigue. He’s played a lot of minutes this season and it was only a matter of time.
If he had dropped Micky for the Palace game and played Dragusin instead he would have got even more pelters with people saying we lost because we rested VDV
First world problems, you can’t please everyone. He’s injured, let’s all accept that and just move on. At least we won the game, he was part of that.
Wild speculation from fourfourtwo. Their solution? Joe Gomez.

Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven faces fight for future, with Spurs eyeing replacements: report
Tottenham star Micky van de Ven was injured against Manchester City in midweek

We could have really used him against the pace of Watkins and Bailey. If Ange will only let Davies sit deep to help compensate for his lack of recovery pace at LB, we should be able to adjust and provide steady enough defense.
With Vuskovic on the brink, we really only need 1, and with Ben Davies almost finished with his contract, we should really be getting a left-footed LCB in if at all possible. We are generally short of real left-footed players on this team, especially in defense.
Maybe we wouldn’t have lost with Radu playing
A lack of news from us is ALWAYS bad news.

Hope his commentary on Insta is correct. Such a great player when he's healthy.
Be good to start Drag when we know we’ll be under heavy attack and have to sit deeper anyway. The guy is class at proper defending.
Lets also hope that AP dose'nt continue with the high line without Mickey. I'm hoping there might be a silver lining in Mickey's injury, that being we sit 3-4 yards deeper and we see from this more controlled performances which will then continue when VDV returns.
