With the Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool on the horizon, manager Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that Micky van de Ven will not be available. Despite making his long-awaited return in Tottenham's 3-0 victory over Elfsborg, the Dutch defender will not be rushed into another high-stakes match just yet.

Micky van de Ven will miss Tottenham Hotspur’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Liverpool on Thursday with injury. Van de Ven, 23, made his return to the side against Swedish club Elfsborg in the Europa League on January 30, playing the first half before being replaced by Radu Dragusin.
