Undergoes hamstring surgery Bentancur underwent a hamstring surgery on Tuesday and will start his rehabilitation with the medical staff, the club announced.

Impact Bentancur suffered a hamstring injury during the clash against Bournemouth last week and has now undergone surgery on his right hamstring on Tuesday. The Uruguay international is now starting his rehabilitation with the medical staff and is expected to miss several months while recovering.

Set to miss three months Bentancur will undergo a surgery for a hamstring injury and is set to miss the next three months, according to Football London.

Impact Bentancur suffered a hamstring injury during Wednesday's defeat against Bournemouth that will require surgery to treat and will sideline him for at least three months. The midfielder is expected to return before the end of the season, but this is a big blow for the Spurs since he has been a regular starter in the heart of the game this season. Joao Palhinha will likely see an increased role in the midfield until he returns to full fitness.

Signs new contract Bentancur has signed a new contract with Tottenham, according to his club.

Impact Bentancur is going to remain with Tottenham for a few more seasons, with the midfielder inking a new long-term deal with the team. This comes after starting in six of his seven appearances this season, appearing to hold a decent role. He maintained a starting role for most of last season and will hope to keep that spot moving forward after only missing two starts to begin this campaign.

Key cog in midfield Bentancur scored two goals and kept two clean sheets across 26 appearances (21 starts) in the Premier League.

Impact Bentancur was in and out of the lineup across the first half of the season, thanks to a couple minor injuries and a seven-match suspension handed to him by the Premier League FA. Once he cleared that suspension and returned from a scary concussion in late January, he became a lock in Spurs' midfield. His contributions don't necessarily show up on the stat sheet - he scored two goals in 26 EPL appearances - he played a key role in build-up play and on the defensive end. He figures to be a key part of Spurs' midfield again next season, in both the Premier League and Champions League.
