         Qatar 2022: Bentancur Muscle Injury Set To Delay Spurs Return – World Cup Update 

Tottenham Hotspur’s Uruguay midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur tore an adductor muscle in his country’s 2-0 World Cup group stage win over Ghana on Friday, with the issue likely to sideline him for three weeks, Uruguayan media reported on Tuesday.

El Pais said Bentancur suffered a five-millimetre tear in the adductor muscle of his right leg and is currently working on his recovery ahead of the resumption of the Premier League on 26 December, when fourth-placed Spurs visit Brentford.

But the injury means the 25-year-old, who has played 21 games in all competitions this season, is unlikely to be available at least until Tottenham host Aston Villa on 1 January.

Reuters has contacted Spurs for comment.
