Marcelo Bielsa's Uruguay are a shambles - 'El Loco' has football's great underdogs in crisis heading into England showdown

Nearing return Bentancur (hamstring) is closing in on a return, according to manager Igor Tudor.

Impact Bentancur has been out for around two months now after hamstring surgery, but is now nearing a return to play, with the midfielder claimed to be edging closer to being an option. He will focus on recovery over the next week as the club takes a break for international play, potentially almost an option on the other side of the break. He started in 17 of his 20 appearances before the injury and will likely see a decent role once again when he is fit.

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. Joao Palhinha is expected to take on a larger role during his absence, while the club is looking to add an additional midfielder to the roster, with the likes of Conor Gallagher mentioned in reports.

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.

Impact Bentancur was forced off to end Wednesday's contest and is set for time on the sidelines in the next few weeks, starting with Saturday's match against Aston Villa. He will now head in for more testing as they determine the extent of the injury, a rough loss for the club as a regular starter goes down. The club will have to use all their resources as they games continue to come quick and the club remains full of injuries, with Joao Palhinha and Archie Gray as potential options to start in the defensive part of the midfield why Bentancur recovers.

Forced off against Bournemouth Bentancur was forced to exit Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Bournemouth due to an undisclosed injury.

Impact Bentancur left his place on the pitch to Archie Gray after succumbing to a discomfort. The experienced midfielder could miss upcoming games due to the issue, but its severity is still unknown. He has started in the last six games, contributing mostly via passes and defensive numbers.

Impact Bentancur conceded a penalty in the 83rd minute Tuesday as he was ruled to be holding Dan Burn on a corner kick following a VAR review. It was a controversial call as both players were all over each other, but regardless it went down as a penalty concession by Bentancur. He contributed fairly well other than that on the defensive end as he won four duels, made three clearances, intercepted three passes and won two tackles in his full 90 minutes of action.
