Rodrigo Bentancur revealed on social media how challenging his recuperation journey had been and how happy he was to be playing football again.
After suffering an ACL injury against Leicester City in February, Bentancur was one of Tottenham’s most reliable players during his first year at the North London club. The Uruguayan was a major loss for the team in the latter few months of the previous campaign.
The 26-year-old has been back in training for the past few weeks, but according to a rumor from a few days ago, he won’t be playing again until November (The Standard).
Bentancur surprised everyone by being left off the starting lineup for Tottenham’s match against Crystal Palace. He entered the game in the ninetieth minute and helped the away team win 2-1.
