Tottenham dealt major Rodrigo Bentancur blow as Antonio Conte injury crisis continues

Tottenham's injury woes look set to continue with Rodrigo Bentancur subbed off with a knee issue in the Premier League clash with Leicester.

Spurs were already enduring a torrid afternoon at the King Power Stadium with Leicester turning the game on its head to be 3-1 in front at half time after Bentancur had given Spurs the lead.

Conte made two enforced changes to the team that beat Manchester City with Japhet Tanganga and Fraser Forster in for the suspended Cristian Romero and injured Hugo Lloris. Pedro Porro was also making his debut replacing Emerson Royal in the starting XI.

Alongside Lloris, it was also confirmed that Yves Bissouma was set for a lengthy spell out to undergo surgery for an ankle injury and now Bentancur could be set to join them on the treatment table.

The Uruguay international looked in agony when the incident first occurred but he was able to continue for a number of minutes before ultimately being replaced by Pape Matar Sarr.

Following his withdrawal, Harvey Barnes saw a fourth disallowed for the hosts for offside but he was able to grab a goal with just under ten minutes to play to complete an awful afternoon for Conte and his men.
