Things are not going according to plan for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League at the moment. Ange Postecoglou has struggled to find consistency, with one win quickly followed by a defeat. Spurs were left embarrassed over the weekend, handing Ipswich Town their first win of the season

Bentancur has been in fine form for Tottenham, becoming a key figure in Postecoglou’s starting XI. However, frustrating news has already arrived for the Uruguayan, presenting a challenge that Tottenham will need to address as a club.

Postecoglou has been delighted with Bentancur’s performances in recent weeks, but Tottenham could be forced to do without the midfielder for an extended period.

Spurs are preparing for the 27-year-old to miss seven matches, as The Athletic reports the club expects him to receive a lengthy ban. After the international break, Tottenham face a challenging run of Premier League fixtures, including matches against Manchester City, Fulham, Bournemouth, Chelsea, Southampton, and Liverpool, his absence will setback the already injury ridden team. Times are tough for the Lilywhites.
