Rodrigo Bentancur of Tottenham Hotspur is presently out with an injury.
In February, the Uruguayan international damaged his anterior cruciate ligament and required surgery. Since then, the midfielder has been out of action, and Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has spoken up about his possible return.
The Australian manager has revealed that he expects the 26-year-old midfielder to return to action around November.
Apparently, the player is really keen on a return and he is already wanting to train with the first team.
Postecoglou added that he had to get the medical team to drag the player out because he does not wish to rush the Uruguayan international’s return.
Postecoglou said (h/t Evening Standard): “Not a defined one but he is getting closer. I think probably around November time, we’d be looking to reintegrate him into it.
“He’s ticking all the boxes so far. He’s really keen. He came to see me yesterday wanting to train and within a minute I had one of the medical team running behind him to collar him and drag him out.
“He’s definitely keen and it’ll be great to get him back because his contribution when he first came to the club was outstanding. In many respects, he’ll be like another new signing for us, which is great, but we won’t rush it.
“It’s obviously a significant injury so probably looking around that timescale.”
Bentancur has been a key player for Tottenham since joining the club and he is likely to be a valuable asset for Postecoglou in the coming years.
Tottenham have certainly missed the 26-year-old in his absence and his return will improve them immensely.
