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.
