Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur picked up an injury blow against Leicester City in their Premier League opener.
The 27-year-old Uruguayan international picked up a serious knee injury last season and he missed most of the season as a result of that. The player’s advisor has now revealed that the midfielder had a similar injury last season and the situation is quite haunting for him.
“These negative situations have been haunting him,” Daniel Fernandez revealed to Buysan.
“They are going to do a preventive scan, but he is stable. At that same stage, he injured his knee in 2023.”
Tottenham will certainly hope that the South American midfielder can return to action quickly. He is a key player for the North London club and losing him for an extended period of time could prove to be a major blow.
Spurs will be hoping to secure Champions League qualification this season and they will look to do well in the domestic trophies as well. They cannot afford to lose key players at the start of the season.
They are already lacking in depth when it comes to the midfield unit and losing Bentancur would be a major blow for them. They will certainly hope that the South American can return to action quickly.
Meanwhile, the 27-year-old has proven his quality in the Premier League and he is a key player for Tottenham. He will look to get back into action soon and make a defining impact for the North London club. There is no doubt that he has the physical and technical attributes to establish himself as one of the best midfielders in the league, and it remains to be seen all the situation unfolds.
