People are shocked: £19M Tottenham player has left staffs at Spurs stunned – Alasdair Gold

Rodrigo Bentancur’s quick return from an ankle injury has surprised many within Tottenham Hotspur, as per insights shared by Football.London journalist Alasdair Gold.

Despite initial expectations of a February return following ankle ligament damage from a challenge by Matty Cash in November, Bentancur remarkably rejoined the starting lineup during Tottenham’s 3-1 victory over Bournemouth.

The setback occurred during Bentancur’s first start for the club in nine months, compounding a challenging year marred by previous fitness concerns, including an ACL injury in February.

His comeback arrives at a critical juncture for Spurs, given the team’s recent injury and suspension challenges, including Yves Bissouma’s absence due to a red card and subsequent participation in AFCON 2024 alongside Pape Matar Sarr.

Bentancur’s premature return provides a timely boost for Postecoglou, who faces a shortage of midfield options in the coming weeks.

Despite his limited appearances under Postecoglou owing to injuries, the £19 million midfielder has demonstrated his quality during his tenure in north London.
