Rodrigo Bentacur is one of Antonio Conte's most important players since he joined from Juventus for €19m and a possible €6m in add-ons according to The Athletic.

According to Transfermarkt, Bentacur has scored five goals in all competitions and assisted a further two while picking up eight bookings. This shows his importance to Tottenham in the midfield.

The injury is not thought to be serious and with the Premier League not resuming until December 26, he has enough time to recover and be ready for action.
