Tottenham defender Micky Van de Ven has painted a bleak picture of the club's current situation, describing their plight as a 'doomsday scenario' following a string of poor results. The Dutch international's comments came after Tottenham's 3-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace, which saw him sent off and suspended for the upcoming match against Liverpool.

With Spurs sitting 16th in the Premier League and just a point above the relegation zone, the pressure is mounting on interim head coach Fabio Tudor, who took charge in February after Thomas Frank's dismissal. The club faces a critical period with upcoming fixtures against Liverpool and relegation rivals Nottingham Forest, while also competing in the UEFA Europa League against Atletico Madrid.

Van de Ven revealed he has stopped checking his phone amid the turmoil, focusing instead on family support. The 24-year-old defender's absence through suspension for the Liverpool match adds to Tottenham's challenges as they fight to avoid their first relegation from the top flight since 1977.
