Tottenham star Rodrigo Bentancur is set to miss the remainder of the season after suffering an ACL injury in the Premier League defeat to Leicester. The midfielder came off worse in a clash with Nampalys Mendy and immediately fell to the ground in severe pain.
Just days after Spurs were dealt a significant injury blow with Yves Bissouma undergoing surgery on a stress fracture to his ankle, the worst for Bentancur was feared after oxygen was brought onto the pitch with Eric Dier cradling his stricken teammate's head in his hands.
A stretcher came onto the pitch, but Bentancur was able to leave the pitch of his own free will with Pape Matar Sarr coming on to replace him. The midfielder shared some brief words with Antonio Conte, before trudging straight down the tunnel.
