Rodrigo Bentancur is set for an extended period on the sidelines as a result of the ankle injury he picked up in Tottenham Hotspur's defeat to Aston Villa, 90min understands.
On what was his first start for the club since tearing his ACL back in February, Bentancur lasted just 32 minutes before a controversial challenge from Villa full-back Matty Cash forced him back to the dressing room.
Sources have confirmed to 90min that Bentancur underwent scans on his ankle on Tuesday and the results suggest he could be facing at least two months on the sidelines as a result of the injury.
