Leeds United youngster Dani van den Heuvel has returned to training, months after being involved in a car accident while on international duty over the summer.
Van den Heuvel was representing Netherlands U19s, who faced a triple header against Serbia, Norway and Ukraine respectively in the U19 European Championships qualifiers, when the accident occurred.
The 19-year-old was left with a severe neck injury and a fractured vertebrae which required surgery. He returned to Thorp Arch for rehabilitation in August and shared a video of him training with the Leeds goalkeeping contingent on his Instagram story on Tuesday.
