Tottenham receives a big injury report on Rodrigo Bentancur, with a timeline provided.

Ben Dinnery, an injury expert, spoke with football.london about Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur’s ankle ligament condition.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur‘s ongoing rehabilitation process has been updated by injury analyst Ben Dinnery. The Uruguayan international ruptured his ankle ligament in last month’s 2-1 loss to Aston Villa, his first appearance for the club since February, when he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee against Leicester City.

Matty Cash, a Villa defender, launched a late challenge on Bentancur, leaving him slumped on the floor and football.Scan results show that the tackle tore a ligament in the 26-year-old’s ankle, according to London. Now, injury expert Dinnery has spoken to football.london on behalf of stocklytics.com on the former Juventus playmaker’s likely comeback to action.

“It’s difficult because no injury is identical due to players’ recoveries and responses,” Dinnery said when asked how long Bentancur is likely to be absent. Different timelines exist for certain players and their recovery processes.

“Even during that game, I was surprised that he had started for Uruguay during the international break.” I returned for my second start in a week. You’re undoubtedly aware that you may need to manage Bentancur differently than other players because by the time he returns, he’ll have spent at least 12-13 months on the sidelines with a minimal amount of competitive minutes.

“So, it’s about building up a base level of fitness, opportunities to compete, and staying fit because how often have we seen players come back from long-term injuries and suddenly pick up soft-tissue and muscle tears?”

“Hamstrings, calves, and the abductor. As a result, they will be aware of it. Early 2024, after the winter break, and fingers crossed that he returns sooner rather than later, and that he stays fit for the rest of the season.”

Spurs were dealt a big blow when Bentancur went down, with the north Londoners already without crucial centre-back Micky van de Ven and summer addition James Maddison through injury.
