Tottenham have received a double injury boost ahead of their Premier League clash with Manchester United, with Micky van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke expected to avoid a long absence, according to Voetbal International.
Tottenham Hotspur have received a double injury boost ahead of their Premier League meeting with Manchester United, with Micky van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke both expected to avoid a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
According to Voetbal International, the Premier League club need not fear a long absence for either defender, despite both internationals having to withdraw from the Netherlands squad with injuries. The Dutch outlet reports that, on first inspection, the damage appears limited.
Double boost for Spurs
Sports Mole report that Tottenham have received a new double injury update on Van de Ven and Van Hecke ahead of their upcoming league match against Manchester United. Voetbalzone also confirm that Spurs have received injury news on the pair in the run-up to the game.
Van de Ven had left the pitch late on as the Netherlands won their Nations League Group A2 match against Serbia in Belgrade, according to TEAMtalk. The outlet describes the blow as a freak one and suggests it likely left manager Roberto De Zerbi, who is under pressure, in a state of alarm as a result.
Porro return news
TEAMtalk also report that Pedro Porro is set to return, providing further defensive options for Tottenham. The Evening Standard, meanwhile, highlight that Spurs are facing a potential defensive crisis for the crunch Manchester United clash, though the latest updates on Van de Ven, Van Hecke and Porro offer some reassurance.
Metro report that Xavi has provided an injury update on Van de Ven ahead of the match between Manchester United and Tottenham, though no further details are given.
Tottenham will hope to have all three defenders available when they travel to face Manchester United this weekend.
