Tottenham Suffer Major Injury Scare as £52m Star Returns to London
- On Wednesday, Van Hecke left The Netherlands' open training session in Zeist early before the match against Greece, with footage showing him conversing with head coach Xavi before sitting in the dugout.
- Der Oranje have faced significant injury issues during this international window, with Briaan Brobbey, Cody Gakpo, and Lutsharel Geertruida all forced to withdraw early from the squad.
- The Spurs centre-back joined from Brighton in a £52m deal this summer and has started next to Virgil in the centre of defence in both matches, completing 90 minutes in each.
- It remains unclear if Van Hecke's early exit indicates a new injury or was pre-planned, though Arsenal's Jurrien Timber is a candidate to replace him should he be ruled out.
- Tottenham are also managing a growing injury list, with Pedro Porro, Dejan Kulusevski, and Mykhailo Mudryk currently sidelined, while Xavi will provide an update at his press conference this evening.
