Rodrigo Bentancurmidfielder of Tottenhamwill miss the remainder of the season due to a ligament injury in his left knee.
The Uruguayan footballer played Saturday’s game at the King Power Stadium and, in fact, opened the score on the scoreboard. However, Leicester would later reverse history to win 4-1 in front of their home crowd.
The worst news for the former Boca and Juventus came when he collided with a rival, Nampalys Mendy, shortly after game time: this situation led him to require oxygen on the pitch.
The truth is that the 25-year-old player ended that commitment with a severe ailment, which confirmed the worst forecasts on Monday. “We can confirm that Rodrigo Bentancur has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will be out for the remainder of the season,” the London club said.
Likewise, the Spurs announced that “he will undergo surgery before beginning his rehabilitation with the medical staff”; In that same tweet, they dedicated a phrase of support for the man born in Nueva Helvecia.
Bentancur played in 26 of Tottenham’s 32 games this season and formed a solid midfield partnership alongside Dane Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
The Uruguayan’s loss occurs at an inopportune moment for those led by Antonio Conte, since fellow midfielder Yves Bissouma is out of action indefinitely after undergoing ankle surgery last Friday.
Added to these injuries is that of goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris, who will be sidelined for two months, while the aforementioned Hojbjerg is suspended for Tuesday’s match for the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Milan. in San Siro.
Tottenham’s loss to Leicester slows him down and leaves him two points behind fourth-placed Newcastle United, who even have a game to go. Furthermore, they are still competing for the FA Cup, where they were drawn against Sheffield United in the round of 16.
