Ange Postecoglou has revealed that James Maddison and Micky van de Ven are set to be out of action until 2024. Starting in Monday evening's Premier League clash against Chelsea, both players made way in the first half after sustaining injuries.

Maddison departed the pitch with an ankle issue after going down in the Chelsea box under no contact just prior to half-time, while Van de Ven pulled up with what looked to be a serious hamstring injury after racing back towards his own goal. Two influential players for Tottenham so far this season, the duo will be huge losses for the Lilywhites over the next couple of months as they look to maintain their excellent start to the campaign.

Following the injuries that occurred on Monday evening, Tottenham will also now be without Richarlison for a month after he underwent surgery on his groin on Thursday. Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday's trip to Wolves, the Spurs boss provided a fresh update on his injured players.

Asked about winning his third Premier League Manager of the Month gong and for the latest on the injury front, he said: "Yeah we don't get a lot of time to enjoy the moment, do we? I'm glad you put it in there but let's get onto the real stuff. No, all good. Fair to say there was a fair bit happening after Monday night.

"If I can go through them... Micky Van de Ven with a hamstring injury we knew was fairly significant. Probably a couple of months for him - looking into the new year.

"Madders, a lot worse than we thought. He came off with the ankle injury, but the next day wasn’t great so we sent him off for a scan. So again not great for him and probably into the new year for him.

"Richy had the operation, which we’d kind of scheduled anyway because Richy has been battling with it from day one and we thought with the international break coming up we thought it would be a good time to get it done. He should only be a month if everything goes well so not too long after the international break.

"They’re the main ones, obviously we have a couple of suspensions as well. Davies is back and available. Porro’s fine."
