Rodrigo Bentancur Returns to Full Training Ahead of Brighton Visit

His availability gives a thin Tottenham squad a lift in a fight to stay up.

Overview

  • Bentancur, who rejoined full training Wednesday, is expected to be available for Saturday's home match against Brighton.
  • The midfielder had been sidelined since January after a serious hamstring tear against Bournemouth that required surgery.
  • Roberto De Zerbi said last week that Bentancur was working with the group but not fully fit, and the player missed the 1-0 loss at Sunderland.
  • First-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is not ready after hernia surgery, so Antonin Kinsky is likely to start again.
  • Tottenham sit two points off safety with Cristian Romero ruled out for the season and Mohammed Kudus facing a quad setback, which raises the stakes on any returning players to help steady results.
