Unsurprisingly, since the 25-year-old ruptured a cruciate ligament in early February (Evening Standard), Tottenham’s form has gone from bad to worse.
On the back of the recent videos shared by the club of Bentancur working at Hotspur Way on his rehabilitation, Spurs fans might have been optimistic that he will be back out on the pitch soon.

This news further necessities the need for reinforcements in the middle of the park irrespective of what formation the next head coach employs.
