Set for months out Bentancur (ankle) will miss more than two months with the ankle injury he suffered against Aston Villa, Sami Mokbel reports.

Impact Bentancur will be sidelined for two and a half months, and potentially longer, due to the ankle injury. It's another brutal blow for Tottenham with a squad that has been destroyed by injuries of late. Bentancur won't return until February and realistically could be sidelined further than that to complete his recovery. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will be required to fill in some major minutes now.

Impact The Spurs have been decimated by injuries this season, and Bentancur has struggled to make an impact due to a lack of fitness that has limited him to just four appearances and one start. The coming days will be decisive in determining whether Bentancur will miss extended time or not, but for now, he should be considered questionable -- and maybe a long shot -- to face Manchester City on Sunday.

Limps off after foul Betancur was forced off in the first half of Sunday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Bentancur was forced off in the 32nd minute after succumbing to a lower leg injury after being fouled by Matty Cash. The midfielder was replaced by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg for the remainder of the match.

Returns in win Bentancur came off the bench for the final minute of Friday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Bentancur certainly didn't play a large part during Friday's win, but he was available off the bench and did see the field. It's a good return, though he will be hard-pressed to earn a spot in the starting XI over the in-form Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr.

Rodrigo Bentancur Scores Incredible Goal In Tottenham Training As Midfielder Edges Closer To First-Team Return After Eight Months Out Bentancur has not played for Spurs since February but he is expected to return imminently.

OCTOBER 26, 2023 • MIAMIHERALD.COM

Nearing return after break Bentancur (knee) is back in full team training and is close to returning, according to manager Ange Postecoglou.

Impact Bentancur was ruled out for Monday's clash with Fulham, but could return even as soon as an Oct. 27 trip to Crystal Palace. The midfielder won't be rushed back into any sort of major role immediately, with his last Premier League appearance coming Feb. 11. Pape Sarr and Yves Bissouma have been the holding midfielders while Bentancur is sidelined.

Return still distant Bentancur (knee) isn't close to returning, according to manager Ange Postecoglou. "Ryan and Rodrigo are still well off (in terms of their respective returns to action),"

Impact Bentancur remains on the sideline due to a knee injury and isn't near to a return to action. The midfielder has been slowly ramping up his rehab but isn't ready to get back on the pitch anytime soon. Bentancur's earliest chance to return is likely in November at this point.

OCTOBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ramping up work Bentancur (knee) continues to work on his fitness and was pictured training with the ball.

Impact Bentancur was training on the grass in early August, so it's clear his return to the pitch is taking some time. He underwent knee surgery in February and at about the seven-month mark, he likely has another week or two before he's training with the team. The best guess for a return may be after the next international break in October.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Training on grass Bentancur (knee) was spotted training on grass Wednesday, ahead of Sunday's trip to Brentford.

Impact Bentancur was training on grass, a good sign as he continues to recover from a knee injury, though he won't be back for the pre-season opener. The midfielder was unable to participate in the pre-season tour due to a torn ACL and is targeting a return in October with Oliver Skipp or Yves Bissoume two options to replace him in holding midfield.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Continues treatment on knee Bentancur (knee) will not be a part of the preseason tour in Asia as he continues his rehab program back in Tottenham.

Impact Bentancur is still some time away from returning after tearing his ACL in February. He had revitalized the midfield while healthy, totaling five goals and two assists with 45 tackles (28 won) and 21 clearances in 18 appearances in the EPL last season. The Uruguayan is still aiming for an October return, but in the meantime, Oliver Skipp could continue to start for him to open up the 2023/24 campaign.

JULY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Aiming for fall return Bentancur (knee) told ESPN Uruguay Thursday that he's hoping to be able to return to action in 2-3 months as he makes his way back from a torn ACL he suffered in February.

Impact Bentancur quickly became a vital player in Tottenham's midfield as he's tallied five goals and six assists across 35 Premier League appearances (33 starts) since joining the club from Juventus in January 2022. But the 25-year-old's progress was halted when he tore his ACL in February, with Oliver Skipp, Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr having to take over his place in the XI. Bentancur is likely to miss the start of the 2023/24 campaign as he continues his recovery, but he is hoping to return sometime in the September-October range.

JUNE 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impressive before injury Bentancur scored five goals and recorded two assists on 15 shots and 11 chances created in 18 appearances (17 starts) this past season.

Impact Bentancur was off to an impressive start this past season before tearing his ACL Feb. 11. He had established himself as Spurs' most important midfielder prior to the injury, as both a goal scorer and an important link between the defense and the attack. His injury recovery will likely keep him out of the beginning of next season, and how he looks after the serious injury is up in the air.

Set for knee surgery Bentancur is set for surgery after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, the team confirmed Monday.

Impact It's a tough injury for Bentancur and Spurs, as it also puts the beginning of next season in flux, as he probably won't take part in preseason preparation. As for Spurs, it's another midfield injury alongside Yves Bissouma, meaning Oliver Skipp and Pape Matar Sarr are next in line for minutes.

FEBRUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out for season with torn ACL Bentancur has undergone medical scans that revealed he has torn his ACL and will miss the rest of the season, The Guardian's Fabrizio Romano reported Sunday.

Impact Bentancur has scored six goals with two assists across 24 appearances (23 starts) in the Premier League and UCL this season, but the 25-year-old's campaign is now over after tearing his ACL in Saturday's loss to Leicester City. With Yves Bissouma also out indefinitely following an ankle surgery, Oliver Skipp and Pape Matar Sarr become the leading candidates to take over as the starter alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in Spurs' midfield.

Forced off with injury Bentancur was forced off in the second half of Saturday's match with Leicester through injury.

Impact Bentancur played 65 minutes before succumbing to injury and being replaced by Pape Sarr. The midfielder's extent of injury should be revealed following the match with Spurs set for a Tuesday Champions League clash against AC Milan. Assistant manager Stellini added 'He feels a lot of pain, but he can walk and it's important that he was able to walk back to the bench. We'll check how he is, and we'll know more in a few days.'

Plays 75 minutes in loss Bentancur made a block, a clearance and won one of one tackles in Thursday's 4-2 defeat against Manchester City.

Impact Bentancur made his first appearance for Spurs since November on Thursday after recovering from a torn adductor muscle he suffered during the World Cup. The midfielder wasn't quite at his best yet against City but he should continue building up to full fitness in the coming days.

Starting versus Man City Bentancur (groin) will be in the starting XI against Manchester City on Thursday.

Impact Bentancur returns to the pitch after missing the previous four contests coming out of the World Cup break. Prior to his absence, the midfielder was on fire offensively with four goals on eight shots and nine crosses (two accurate) in his previous five contests (four starts).

JANUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will be option Thursday Bentancur (groin) has been training and could feature against Manchester City on Thursday, according to manager Antonio Conte.

Impact Bentancur has been out since early December with a groin injury, so it's hard to see him drawing a start in his first game minutes since then. Of course, Conte is a bit desperate in the midfield and while Bentancur maybe won't go 90, a start is possible. If not, Yves Bissouma seems to be healthier and could start at City after coming off the bench over the weekend.

Out for North London Derby Bentancur is not in the match day squad to face Arsenal on Sunday.

Impact Betancur is unable to recover in time from a groin injury to feature in Sunday's squad. The midfielder's next chance comes during a mid week trip to Manchester City on Thursday.

JANUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could be option for derby Bentancur (groin) is improving and could train Saturday ahead of Sunday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Antonio Conte.

Impact Bentancur has a chance to be on the bench Sunday, but there's almost no chance he starts, as Conte said he was behind Dejan Kulusevski in terms of recovery. Bentancur has been out since the World Cup and it's assumed Yves Bissouma will again start in the midfield against Arsenal, assuming he's fit enough.
