Tottenham Hotspur fans and sports betting enthusiasts alike are keenly following the latest updates on midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur's injury. The Uruguay international had to exit the pitch during a game against Leicester, causing concern among fans and players. However, there is some good news for Spurs as they prepare for their upcoming match against Everton.
During a recent match that ended in a 1-1 draw with Leicester, Bentancur went up for a header before colliding with Abdul Fatawu. This collision left him motionless on the ground, leading to immediate medical attention. He was given oxygen and stretchered off the pitch after appearing unconscious momentarily. This incident brought back memories of an earlier knee injury at King Power Stadium that sidelined him for nine months in his first full season at Tottenham. Fortunately, this time around, he regained consciousness swiftly and was able to travel back to London with his team without requiring additional assistance.
Bentancur has been given the day off along with all other players involved in the Leicester match. However, sources reveal that he will be closely monitored throughout this week as per concussion protocol guidelines set by football governing bodies. While there is a high probability that he may miss out on this weekend’s game against Everton due to these precautions, it isn't all bad news for Spurs.
Bissouma set to return
Yves Bissouma’s suspension kept him out of action during the last game but now paves way for his swift return following Bentancur's injury setback. His inclusion in the squad will undoubtedly provide much-needed reinforcement in midfield as Tottenham aims to secure their first three points of this season.
Yves Bissouma watched from London as Spurs battled to a draw against Leicester. His return will be a significant boost for the team, especially in light of Bentancur's injury.
Advantage for Spurs
In addition to Bissouma's return, Tottenham has received another boost ahead of their Everton match. The Toffees are set to miss their experienced left-back Ashley Young due to suspension following his red card in the match against Brighton.
Last season, Tottenham finished fifth in the league and they are determined to secure at least Champions League football for next season. With these recent developments providing a double advantage, fans and sports betting enthusiasts alike will be watching closely as Spurs look forward to turning their fortunes around this weekend.
