Tottenham injury news as Van de Ven and Van Hecke updates emerge

Tottenham Hotspur defenders Micky van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke have avoided serious injuries while on international duty with the Netherlands. Reports from Voetbal International confirm that neither issue is as bad as initially feared after both players suffered knocks against Serbia. Van de Ven injured his wrist following an awkward fall involving Luka Jovic, while Van Hecke sustained a toe injury.

Both players now face a race against time to be available for manager Roberto De Zerbi ahead of Tottenham's upcoming match against Manchester United. Winless Tottenham currently sit at the bottom of the Premier League table, but reports indicate the defensive duo could be fit enough to make the bench this weekend.
