Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur is unlikely to return to first-team training until the first week of January, according to injury expert Dr. Rajpal Brar.
Following a lengthy injury that kept him out of action from February to November, the Uruguayan made his way back to the starting lineup.
Unfortunately, though, his comeback was short-lived as he sustained an ankle injury during his first start in nine months. After making a reckless tackle in the match against Aston Villa, Matty Cash sustained an injury that has kept him out of the game for some time.
Ange stated in the beginning of December that he would be gone for two months, meaning that the end of January would be his anticipated return date.
The injury specialist stated in an interview with Tottenham News that his current regimen will be focused on the rehabilitation components and then the focus will be on returning to the training pitch.
He declared:
“If Ange is right when he says it will be two months, then his present training regimen is still heavily focused on the recovery aspects before going back to pitch work.
It’s hard to tell how far away he is from individualized instruction because it relies on how he handles rising levels of difficulty.
“It appears doubtful that he will return to full-team training in the upcoming week or two, but a return to individual training might be imminent.”
In the next transfer window, Spurs are anticipated to add a new midfield player, and Kalvin Phillips of Manchester City is one of the most frequently mentioned names.
Bentancur, James Maddison, Pape Matar Sarr, Yves Bissouma, and Spurs’ absence in January will leave Ange with few choices in the center of the field.
Early in the transfer window, Spurs will need to sign a defender and a new midfield player.
