This season, he’s been a first-team regular in the Premier League. Although not considered a goalscoring midfielder, he managed to score six times in 26 appearances for the north London team.Rodrigo Bentancur 2022/23 pic.twitter.com/qtx1tzgaKK— JZR (@jzrproductions) February 13, 2023 Bentancur’s absence has come at a terrible time because Yves Bissouma is also sidelined following surgery on a fractured ankle. Conte is unsure if the Malian international will be available again before the end of the season. As things stand, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Oliver Skipp and Pape Matar Sarr are currently Spurs’ only available midfielders.
