The 16-year-old was seriously injured representing his country over the weekend.
Tottenham Hotspur’s talented young goalkeeper Jonathan De Bie is set to leave intensive care soon and continue his rehabilitation in Belgium after a horrific injury over the weekend.
The teenager collided with an opponent during Belgium’s under-17 clash with their French counterparts.
He carried on playing the game, but collapsed afterwards, according to a report from Het Nieuwsblad. The 16-year-old has suffered a ruptured spleen and internal bleeding but his condition was soon declared stable and he spent the weekend in a French hospital in Saint-Brieuc.

But ESPN are reporting he is set to leave the hospital soon, but will not yet return to the UK.
De Bie is a highly talented Belgium youth international that Tottenham clearly have high hopes for in the future.
De Bie finalised a move to Tottenham in the summer after leaving KV Mechelen and has been highlighted as a potential future successor to Thibaut Courtois at international level.

He was on trial at Liverpool in March but Tottenham fought hard to conclude his signature in time for the new season.
The club will be hoping he makes a full recovery and that obviously spending time back at home in Belgium will be the best way for him to recover from this serious injury.
