Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur hopeful of early return

Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur hopes to be back in action by September.

Bentancur is recovering from an ACL injury.

"The injury was at a time when I was very well, but the truth is that I do not change what happened for anything," he said. I was missing a lot at the family level and everything that I am experiencing with my daughter and my girlfriend in these four months is priceless. That is also why my recovery time has passed so quickly and I am doing so well.

It's a long injury, one of the most difficult in football, but the truth is that I'm having such a good time with my family I train the same every day, I do double shifts two or three times a week.

I brought the club's physiotherapist to Uruguay; we continue working and my knee is doing very well. I didn't set a lap time, but I hope in two or three months to be at least gaining a few minutes again."
