Tottenham's Jan Paul van Hecke withdraws from Netherlands squad due to foot injury.

Tottenham defender Jan Paul van Hecke has withdrawn from the Netherlands squad due to injury and is now returning to north London, according to The Athletic.

Van Hecke has been involved in the Netherlands' previous two games on international duty, starting against both Germany and Serbia.

Xavi Hernandez's side drew 1-1 with Germany in their opening game, before beating Serbia 2-1.

The Netherlands are now set to travel to Greece for their next UEFA Nations League clash, but it appears that they will be without Tottenham's centre-back.

Spurs supporters will be waiting nervously to discover whether the injury is going to be enough to keep him out of their next Premier League clash, but there's still plenty of time remaining for him to make a full recovery.

According to The Athletic, Van Hecke has now withdrawn from the squad after picking up a foot injury . The former Brighton centre-back trained with the squad on Wednesday, but withdrew from the session and will now travel back to London for treatment.

Van Hecke has been ever-present for Tottenham so far in the Premier League this season, with Spurs struggling at the foot of the table.

Tottenham's next game sees them travel to Manchester United in the Premier League on October 10th, but it remains to be seen whether Van Hecke will be fit enough for that one.
