Tottenham injury, suspension news and return dates for AZ Alkmaar: Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero latest

Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham Hotspur's injury and suspension news ahead of the first leg of the Europa League last-16 tie with AZ Alkmaar.

Tottenham Hotspur return to action on Thursday evening when they square off against AZ Alkmaar in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie.

Ange Postecoglou's side will take to the pitch having enjoyed more than a week off since their 1-0 reverse at the hands of Manchester City on February 26.

Although Postecoglou would have preferred to have been participating in the FA Cup at the weekend, the break has allowed for a much-needed break for his over-run squad and key players to put themselves on the brink of a return.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their trip to the Netherlands to face opponents that they edged out in the League Phase last year.


Ben Davies

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Other
Possible return date: March 6 (vs. AZ Alkmaar)

Davies has not made an appearance for Spurs since the win over Manchester United on February 16. However, having had an extra week to recover from a minor issue, the expectation is that the Wales international will be fit to feature on Thursday night.


Richarlison

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Calf
Possible return date: March 6 (vs. AZ Alkmaar)

Injury-riddled striker Richarlison has been currently working his way back from the calf injury that he sustained against Liverpool in the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals at the start of February. However, the forward is on the brink of recovering and returning to the squad.


Radu Dragusin

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

Romanian centre-back Dragusin recently underwent successful surgery on the ACL problem that he sustained in January, one that will sideline him for the rest of the season.


Dominic Solanke

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: March 9 (vs. Bournemouth)

Star striker Solanke is also rehabilitating from his own knee injury, albeit one far less serious than Dragusin's. Although there is a slim chance that he could return to the squad for this fixture, the game against Bournemouth three days later is more realistic.


Cristian Romero

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: March 9 (vs. Bournemouth)

Romero's recovery from a quadriceps injury is taking longer than anticipated, but Postecoglou is confident that the Argentine will be fit to return in the early stages of next month. As it stands, a place in the squad against AZ cannot be ruled out, albeit it remaining unlikely at this stage.


Micky van de Ven

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: March 9 (vs. Bournemouth)

Likewise, Van de Ven is in a similar position to Romero as he builds up his fitness after a thigh injury. The Netherlands international has been tipped to have 'an outside chance' of making the squad for this game.
