"Tottenham have suffered a significant setback in their already troubled season, with midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur now ruled out for three months after it was confirmed he requires surgery. The Uruguayan, who has endured a difficult year with recurring injuries, is expected to return before the end of the campaign but his absence forces Spurs into emergency action in the January transfer market, according to Fabrizio Romano."
"With Bentancur sidelined, Tottenham's midfield depth has been severely weakened. The club was already coping with long-term injuries to James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, two of their most creative and influential players. Maddison's absence has left a void in creativity and link-up play, while Kulusevski's injury has removed an important outlet in transition and wide areas. Now, with Bentancur unavailable until April, the situation has escalated into a full-blown selection crisis."
Rodrigo Bentancur requires surgery and will be sidelined for three months, returning before the end of the campaign. The absence compounds Tottenham's injury problems amid a disappointing Premier League campaign, poor form, loss of identity, and recent FA Cup elimination. Long-term injuries to James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski have already depleted creativity and wide options, leaving the midfield severely weakened. Spurs face a selection crisis and must intensify their January recruitment to stabilise the centre of the pitch. The club will explore permanent signings and short-term loans to provide defensive structure and creativity and to support Thomas Frank.
