Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has undergone successful surgery in Spain on his ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, football.london understands.
The 25-year-old ruptured the ligament in the second half of Spurs' Premier League defeat at Leicester City this month after turning his knee awkwardly during a challenge. The Uruguay international, who had scored earlier in the game, then had to wait for the swelling to subside before any further treatment could take place.
That has now happened as football.london understands Bentancur underwent successful surgery in Spain on Monday at the hands of a top surgeon and the midfielder will now begin his long rehabilitation period with Tottenham's medical staff.
