Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Moura: Tottenham injury news and return dates ahead of Man City clash

Tottenham will be desperate to get back to winning ways tonight following a dismal weekend of Premier League action.

Last time out, the Lillywhites endured North London Derby defeat against fierce rivals Arsenal, with the current lead leaders winning 2-0 in N17 thanks to a Hugo Lloris own goal before Martin Odegaard clinched all three points for the Gunners with a low-driven strike just before the break. It doesn't get any easier for Antonio Conte's side either as they travel to the Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City this evening.

Ahead of tonight's crucial clash, football.london takes a look at all the latest injury news Conte will have to deal with as the Italian looks to get his side's season back on track against the reigning champions.

Rodrigo Bentancur

Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Betancur has been in fantastic form this season when he's played, finding some goal-scoring form to his game too. His injury at the World Cup with Uruguay came as a huge blow to Spurs, who will be hopeful of a return against the Citizens.

What Conte has said: "Team news, like I said after the game against Arsenal, Rodrigo Bentancur trained with us," said the Italian. "He's available. He could be available for the game against City."

Return date: January 19 - Man City (A)

Lucas Moura

Brazilian forward Lucas Moura has been out with a tendon issue that continues to plague him throughout the season, with it currently being unknown when he will return.

What Conte has said: "Lucas Moura, this is the only critical situation because it's very difficult to understand if he is going to come quickly or we have to wait a long time."

Return date: N/A
