Tottenham forced to enter transfer market as midfielder is ruled out for three months

Tottenham have suffered a significant setback in their already troubled season, with midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur now ruled out for three months after it was confirmed he requires surgery.

The Uruguayan, who has endured a difficult year with recurring injuries, is expected to return before the end of the campaign but his absence forces Spurs into emergency action in the January transfer market, according to Fabrizio Romano.

This news comes at a time when Thomas Frank’s team are already struggling for consistency.
