Could return against Man United
van Hecke (foot) could return for Saturday's clash against Manchester United, with his injury not considered serious, according to Netherlands coach Xavi Hernandez, per VI.nl.
Analysis: van Hecke appears to have avoided a lengthy absence after returning to Tottenham early with the foot injury. The center-back has played every minute of the club's five Premier League matches this season, recording 10 tackles, three interceptions and 24 clearances. He could be available for Saturday's trip to Manchester United if he progresses well during the week, while Tosin Adarabioyo and Marcos Senesi would be the likely alternatives in central defense if he's unable to return.
Withdraws with foot injury
van Hecke (foot) has withdrawn from the Netherlands squad and returned to Tottenham for treatment after being unable to complete Wednesday's training session, according to The Athletic.
Analysis: van Hecke played the full 90 minutes in both of the Netherlands' matches against Germany and Serbia before the foot injury forced him to withdraw from the squad. The center-back has also been ever-present since joining Tottenham, completing all five Premier League matches while recording 10 tackles, three interceptions and 24 clearances. His availability for the Oct. 10 trip to Manchester United is now uncertain, with Tosin Adarabioyo and Marcos Senesi in line for increased roles in central defense if van Hecke is unavailable.
