Tottenham star Steven Bergwijn sent home from international duty with Holland due to 'fitness issues' - despite playing for Spurs last week in Europa League victory away at Ludogorets

Steven Bergwijn has returned to Tottenham without playing a minute of football for Holland in the international break after coaches deemed him not fit enough for action - despite him playing for Spurs last week.

The midfielder has dropped down the pecking order slightly under Mourinho, seeing his game-time limited in recent weeks, but he has played in both of Spurs' most recent Europa League games, starting in Antwerp and coming on at Ludogorets.

He was called up by the Dutch national team for their upcoming fixtures, but is now already back in London after being sent home for fitness issues.
