When will Rodrigo Bentancur return from injury?
Bentancur’s catastrophic injury in mid-February was one of the worst things that could have happened to the Lilywhites in a season where so many things went wrong for them last year, seemingly one after another.
An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury that necessitated surgery and sidelined the former Juventus star for the remainder of the season drove him off the field during the team’s 4-1 loss to Leicester City.
The fact that the 26-year-old had just returned from a 44-day absence off the field due to adductor issues, meaning he had less than a month between his two injuries, made it seem even more harsh to him.

When The Athletic announced that he wouldn’t be returning until November, at least three months from now, it appeared like he would also be set to miss a significant portion of the upcoming season. This would not be the best way for Ange Postecoglou to begin his reign.
However, things may be improving for the Ururguyan and his supporters as well, as it seems he may have just disclosed his return date while speaking to a fan outside the training facility.
In response to the fan’s query regarding his physical condition, he stated:
I only need two more months; everything is OK.
How good is Rodrigo Bentancur?
Fans of other clubs may have forgotten how excellent Bentacur is, as the former Boca Juniors player missed more than half of the Premier League season last year due to injury.
He only appeared in 18 games for the North Londoners last season, but he still managed to contribute two assists, maintain a passing accuracy of 85.2%, average a fairly excellent match rating of 7.22, and score five goals, making him the second-highest player on the team behind only Harry Kane, according to WhoScored.
His teammates at N17 have definitely been impacted by his performances, as evidenced by Dejan Kulusevski, a fellow former Juventus player, who waxed poetic about the midfielder.

Bentancur might be among the league’s top midfielders the next season if he has an injury-free campaign.
