Another day, another international break injury bulletin to bring you, following other recent updates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

VAN HECKE OUT OF THE NETHERLANDS SQUAD<\/p>\n

Jan Paul van Hecke (\u00a34.9m) suffered a foot injury during the Netherlands\u2019 match against Serbia on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

He did actually take part, very briefly, in a training session on Wednesday morning, but reports suggest he lasted just seven minutes<\/a> and retreated to the dugout after a chat with head coach Xavi.<\/p>\n

Van Hecke has now returned to Tottenham Hotspur.<\/p>\n

Jan Paul van Hecke won\u2019t travel to Thessaloniki with the squad. \u274c<\/p>\n

The defender got injured during the away game against Serbia and will return to Tottenham Hotspur. <\/p>\n

ODEGAARD STAYS WITH NORWAY<\/p>\n

Scans on Martin Odegaard\u2018s (\u00a36.8m) ankle have revealed no major damage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Arsenal midfielder picked up an injury in Sunday\u2019s 2-1 loss to Portugal, having been kicked by Bernardo Silva.<\/p>\n

Odegaard missed training on Tuesday but was then back on the grass today (see below), and could feature in Thursday\u2019s Nations League match against Wales in Cardiff.<\/p>\n

\u201cMartin was in the breakfast room, he was happy and he had less pain in his ankle than yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a long time until the next match. It is a full two and a half days. A lot can happen in that time.\u201d \u2013 Brede Hangeland, Norway assistant coach, speaking on Tuesday<\/p>\n

BRUNO FERNANDES SET TO BE FIT<\/p>\n

Bruno Fernandes (\u00a311.9m) wasn\u2019t involved against Norway last weekend<\/a> but looks set to return to the Portugal squad for Thursday\u2019s clash with Denmark.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s already trained ahead of the game, and manager Jorge Jesus all but confirmed he\u2019ll be involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018Look, it\u2019s like this, you won\u2019t play the next game [against Norway on Sunday], you will play in the other game in Denmark [on Thursday] if you recover\u2019. Exactly what I did with Ronaldo. If nothing happens in training today, Bruno will play in the Denmark game.\u201d \u2013 Portugal boss Jorge Jesus, speaking on Wednesday<\/p>\n

EZRI KONSA + NICO O\u2019REILLY LATEST<\/p>\n

Nico O\u2019Reilly (\u00a36.3m) missed England\u2019s win over Czechia on Tuesday, while Ezri Konsa (\u00a34.6m) remained unused on the bench. Both players had missed training in the lead-up to that game. <\/p>\n

They remain with the squad, however, and could be involved against Croatia on Saturday or Czechia (again) on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot say yes,\u00a0I cannot say no. \u2018I don\u2019t know\u2019, is the honest answer.\u00a0He was not available today. He was not on the bench. So, we have three days now. We will try everything and push everyone\u00a0to be available. <\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully, Nico and Ezri can come back, but for today, they were not available.\u201d \u2013 Thomas Tuchel, speaking after the Czechia game, on whether Nico O\u2019Reilly would be fit for Saturday<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a normal window,\u00a0if you\u2019re not available, like now, Nico O\u2019Reilly, you would just go back to the club, get your treatment\u00a0and be available as fast as possible. But, like,\u00a0now we have three matches to play, so he stays\u00a0with us. Everything is new. He stays with us\u00a0even if he was injured, not available today, because we have two more matches. And of course,\u00a0we want to take every possibility and every chance that he\u2019s available for one of these two matches\u00a0minimum or maybe both of them.\u201d \u2013 Thomas Tuchel<\/p>\n

OTHER NEWS<\/p>\n

Viktor Gyokeres (\u00a37.1m) has seemingly shrugged off being bloodied<\/a> in Sweden\u2019s 3-1 win over Poland.<\/p>\n

Noah Sadiki (\u00a34.9m), who limped out of DR Congo\u2019s victory over Zimbabwe<\/a>, encouragingly seems to be staying with his national team<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n

Noussair Mazraoui (\u00a34.4m) may be a concern, however, having sustained an injury in Morocco\u2019s clash with Lesotho on Tuesday.<\/a><\/p>\n
