Postecoglou reflects on Bentancur's upcoming return to the squad

Rodrigo Bentancur’s suspension is nearing its end, and the Uruguayan midfielder is set to rejoin the Tottenham squad soon. This news has delighted Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou.

Details: The north London coach emphasized that Bentancur’s suspension was frustrating, but the player has been working hard and is eager to help the team reach new heights.

Quote: "Even injured guys are always around the team, wanting to help, wanting to contribute. They know we’re going through a tough moment, and for Rodrigo, it was even more frustrating because he wasn’t out due to injury.

As I’ve said, he made a mistake, served his punishment, and now he wants to help the team. It’s good to have him back. He’s been working hard in training. As for Boxing Day, we’ll see, but certainly, it’s just good to have another body available," Postecoglou said.

Reminder: In June 2024, Bentancur made a controversial joke during an interview about his teammate Son Heung-min. When asked to gift a Son jersey, the Uruguayan replied, "Sonny’s or his cousin’s? They all look almost the same anyway." The Football Association suspended him for seven matches for these remarks.
