Would just need a few lengths of the swimming pool to warm up and he’d be getting the player of the match bonus.

Ange is giving the same reason for vdvs absence lol. Getting boring now.
THEY BOTCHED IT, AGAIN.

Here's the key dates:
30-Oct - Emirates Marketing Project league cup game where he was off after 14 mins, ironically playing at LB
08-Dec - that fateful Chelsea game where he lasted 79 mins and then disappeared again
30-Jan - 45 mins against Elfsborg, got our hopes up
What is implied is that they are doing some proper controlled conditioning on him and feel he's not responding well enough to be put in the high risk match situation again yet.
I guess all we can do as fans is trust the process.

Maybe we are managing it right for a change and not putting him in against high intensity PL oppo only to see him a long time crock

I was hoping some cartilage/knee replacement tech might have advanced enough to give Ledley a chance before he was too old but alas not
That said I read about Linsey Vonn (queen of skiing) the other day and she's back top level skiing after a six year break after having a titanium knee fitted. (She's 40 yrs old now)
And if anything is going to test a knee out...it's downhill skiing.

I've got a feeling he might still be involved, starting or sub.
They way he talked about we've got a big end to the season and really emphasized the EL BUT one game from a final is a massive chance.
As I say I think VDV will be involved...he can miss Villa if they want.....that'll give him 10 days until United.

I don't think so. VDV was interviewed on several TV stations and on Spurs TV after the game, and he was just a big grin. Absolutely no sign of anything remotely looking bad. He did say himself that the tempo was low, and that the PL would be a whole different thing, and that he probably wouldn't have played if it was PL opposition.
Damaged by previous events, I genuinely think they just want to be extra careful.

Let's hope her career goes downhill very quickly.
We will find out shortly ...
Look if they are taking their time, player isn't feeling 100% and as Ange specifically said, we can't afford to have re-injuries at this point, all ok
If 3 games from now, he's still not playing, it's probably something more.

Would be good with some more clarity from Ange on the VdV and Romero injury situations. Even if it is "we don't quite know, may be a week may be a month".
Him not even being on the bench after playing 45 minutes against Elfsborg seems a bit strange on the surface at least.

It is now nearly three weeks since Cristian Romero appeared in open training, while Micky van de Ven has missed three straight games since his latest comeback. Ange Postecoglou has described both as "slow-burners", suggesting more patience may be required. Piece...

The curious case of Van de Ven, Romero and their 'slow-burning' injuries
Van de Ven and Romero have been described as ‘slow-burners’ by Ange Postecoglou - so what is going on?

In my own football related struggles with calf and hamstring muscle injuries I got told that immobility in hip and back makes the nerves system not communicating fully with the muscles and by that causing issues, like muscle tear.
VDV looks stiff as a board, look at the first steps running off.

I injured my ankle badly in October 2023 playing football. Had a variety of scans that show that all is fine, but it still gives me horrendous pain and inflammation. Apparently you have these little nerve endings that act like sensors that tell your body to adjust positioning to prevent injury when you're e.g. running. If they get damaged you're basically f***ed as you'll always inflame that area as your body isn't adjusting instinctively in real time to prevent stress. So you get chronic pain and inflammation even though scans show there's nothing wrong. I suspect that's what has occurred with a few of these players having found out about the phenomena myself.

Yes it seems logical that when coming back from serious injury you put stress on other parts of your body, including your back. So the original injury could be OK but you get twinges and strains in other areas.
E.g. I noticed Bren Johnson had a strange posture when running, almost like he had to keep his back straight, with his legs doing double the work.
You can see when a player like Djed Spence sprints, he just glides across the surface like silk and you realise just how ungainly other players are, they look like they are struggling through a swamp in comparison.

And that must mean Ange is going to be faultless for the rest of season as well, I guess?
