Tottenham Hotspur fans were treated to some great news yesterday – Rodrigo Bentancur was spotted back on the training pitch.

The Uruguayan suffered a serious knee injury in February this year and has been out of action since. He’s still a little while away, but seeing him back on the pitches at Hotspur Way is a fantastic sight for Spurs fans.

Here’s how Cristian Romero and Giovani Lo Celso reacted to the news.

Rodrigo Bentancur spotted back in Tottenham’s training ground

Rodrigo Bentancur’s injury was a major factor in Tottenham’s poor performance in the second half of the previous campaign.

The 26-year-old, who transferred from Juventus to Spurs in January of last year, is undoubtedly the team’s top midfielder. When he was well, he was brilliant, therefore his absence was very detrimental to them.

Although Yves Bissouma has done a fantastic job of filling his shoes this year, Bentancur’s return to full health will make Tottenham a much stronger team.

Before engaging in individual exercises yesterday, the Uruguayan warmed up with the team. Although he isn’t yet physically prepared to participate in a full session, this is a significant improvement.

Bentancur celebrated his return to the practice fields yesterday by posting on Instagram. He was seen with several of his South American friends, and he accompanied the photo with a few hourglass emojis, indicating that he will soon be returning.

Emerson Royal and Giovani Lo Celso both responded with heart emojis in response to Cuti Romero’s “Toroooooooooooosss” comment on the post.

For supporters of Tottenham, this is huge news.

Even if Bentancur won’t be eligible for selection for another month or so, the fact that he’s back on the practice fields is fantastic news for Spurs supporters.

Under Antonio Conte, the Uruguayan was one of the club’s top players. He was terrific, and we believe Ange Postecoglou will make him much better.

When Bantancur returns, it will be intriguing to see what role he will be assigned.
