Player Watch Player Watch: Rodrigo Bentancur

[Joshua]

Losing Bentancur and Bissouma long term in the space of a few days. Total disaster.

 

[thebenjamin]

If its either of those, no guarantee at all he's the same player again after. Van Dijk is nowhere near what he was after coming back from his acl

 

[mil1lion]

He got up and wanted to get back on too. Hoping its another like the Burnley one and not out for long. Shocking the injuries this season though.

 

[EastUpperDK82]

Lucky we realised we needed cover and bought Bissouma.... oh wait. We're fucked.

At some point you've just got to laugh really ...

The fact that his game requires quick turns and sharp movements. Sickener.

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

I was convinced at the time he did it that it’s an ACL.

Have to pray it isn’t basically and if it is pray that he can make a full recovery. It is possible to recover fully but not guaranteed.

We’ve got 4 centre mids out on loan as well lol

 

[SUIYHA]

If its an ACL then we won't see him again this season. Our most important player behind Kane - gone just like that. Worse than anything to do with the scoreline today.

Can only pray its not as bad as we thought but the way the players were around him - that didn't look good.

 

[thebenjamin]

Reminds me of when Sandro did his knee at QPR. His career basically ended that day

 

[Yiddo100]

Imagine if we loaned out sarr we’d actually have no one

 

[UncleBuck]

We’re completely buggered. Hojbjerg due a ban soon and Skippy will get injured at some point.
only option we’ll have will be to dump Dier or Kulu in the middle.
I could quite easily put a fork in this season!

One week ago we were injury free

Now Benta, Lloris, Bissouma and Sess are out.

Game over

 

[Athenspur]

Stellini said that Bentancur is in a lot of pain but he's able to walk. Hoping for weeks out rather than months. In any case I don't think we'll see him again this season. My guess is they're going to try to use Perisic in the middle for some added experience. At least in the Milan game.

Yeah. We’re fucked. League is too competitive for us to cope with injuries

 

[GioW]

Yeah honestly, we're done.

This injury is miles more damaging than today's result. Just can't see that we have a midfield that could carry us to say , an FA Cup now.

 

[cjsimba]

Missed the game - did he come back on for a bit after he went off?

 

[nico97531]

Can we recall Lo celso?

Christ I hope not. He’s been awful in his actual position I don’t see how shoe horning him into midfield will help. He’s been a complete disaster of a signing. Huge wages too.

 

[fortworthspur]

I doubt ACL. He was on his feet after.

 

[thebenjamin]

I doubt ACL. He was on his feet after.

Means nothing unfortunately. Sandro walked off at QPR and that injury destroyed his career.
