Tottenham Hotspur have just received some big news regarding Jan Paul van Hecke, which indicates whether the Dutchman is likely to be fit to play a part against Man United.Van Hecke’s toe injury forced him to return to North London early, with the 26-year-old playing no part in the Netherlands’ clash against Greece and Serbia.Micky van de Ven did play both those matches, and while he too had an injury scare against Serbia, it has since been clarified by Netherlands boss Xavi Hernandez that the Spurs captain’s injury is not serious.Roberto De Zerbi will hope that none of his other international stars return to the club with any niggles over the next 48 hours, as the Lilywhites prepare for a crunch clash at Old Trafford.Photo by Carl Recine/Getty ImagesJan Paul van Hecke has been training at Tottenham this weekIt emerged last week that Van Hecke tried to train with the Netherlands squad last week, but could not do so as he felt pain in his toe when he touched the ball.In what comes as a huge boost for Spurs, The Sun have now revealed that the former Brighton man has managed to train at Hotspur Way this week.The outlet confirms what we have heard from other sources by confirming that neither Van de Ven nor Van Hecke have been ruled out of Tottenham’s trip to United.Both players will continue to be monitored closely over the next few days before a final decision is made. There is optimism at Tottenham that both centre-backs will be ready to feature in Saturday’s big game.Injured playerInjuryPotential ReturnWilson OdobertKneeNovember 2026Xavi SimonsKnee2027Mykhailo MudrykAnkleNovember 2026Dejan KulusevskiFitnessSoonPedro PorroHamstringOctober 2026Jan Paul van HeckeFootOctober 2026Micky Van de VenWristOctober 2026Man Utd could have several key players missingTottenham will be without the injured Pedro Porro, Xavi Simons, Mykhailo Mudryk, Wilson Odobert, and likely Dejan Kulusevski for the trip to Manchester.However, Spurs’ opponents could also be without several key men, with reports indicating that nine Man Utd players could face late fitness tests ahead of Saturday’s clash.Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo, Patrick Dorgu, Noussair Mazraoui, Bruno Fernandes, Benjamin Sesko, Amad, Karl Darlow and Tom Heaton are all doubts to be fit to face the Lilywhites.READ MORE: Tottenham reach a compromise with Richarlison after near-legal battle in the summerThe post Tottenham receive major Jan Paul van Hecke injury boost ahead of Man United away appeared first on Spurs Web.
