Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has taken to social media to update fans on his injury.
Bentancur has been out of action since sustaining an ACL injury in the Premier League defeat to Leicester City back in February before successfully undergoing surgery later that month. The Uruguay international's Spurs team-mate Cristian Romero admitted that the midfielder was a big miss for the north Londoners.
"We all miss him a lot", Romero said when discussing the former Juventus star. "It’s a big loss for the time being but we know the player that he is.

“Right now, it’s hard, but we’re looking forward to having him back and contributing for us again. We need to prepare well going forward but, in the meantime, we wish him a speedy recovery and that he’s back soon."
Now, Bentancur has posted a video of himself back on the training pitch, doing some light running as he ramps up his rehabilitation process. It is currently unclear just how long it will be before he returns to action with the rest of the first team.
One player that has been impressed with the 25-year-old's positivity during his recovery process is Dejan Kulusevski. “Rodrigo is so strong on the pitch but outside of the pitch he’s unbelievable," the Swede told football.london a few months ago.
"I’m shocked how positive he can be after news like that. He will come back strong and I wish him a strong recovery. We miss him on the pitch."
“He is a leader on the pitch and outside the pitch. We are so sorry for the team but first of all we are sorry for him. It’s not good at all," added Kulusevski.
"We are going to face this bad period, we are going to support him. When he will be back it will be so good to play again with him."
