Tottenham had a rough night battling Chelsea on Monday.
The north London club suffered a 4-1 loss against the Blues, and the aftermath of this defeat could impact them for a while.
Injuries and suspensions have taken a toll on the Tottenham team, and they will need to make significant changes in the weeks ahead.
Spurs lack depth, and it seems they may be facing issues in the midfield with Rodrigo Bentancur not yet performing at his best.
During the Spurs vs Chelsea match watchalong on TalkSPORT, Jamie O’Hara criticized Bentancur, stating that he appeared unfit and was struggling to keep up.
O’Hara shared his thoughts on the £20m Uruguayan, expressing disappointment in his performance due to his apparent lack of fitness.
Bentancur’s return is worrisome, but playing against Chelsea with only nine men would be challenging for any midfielder, especially after a long injury break.
It’s clear that Bentancur was not himself during the game, but the fact that Tottenham were two players down only highlighted his ongoing struggles.
However, it’s not uncommon for a player to take time to regain their form after a long break, so there is hope for improvement from Bentancur in the coming weeks as he is expected to be back in action and in better shape.
