LONDON (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur suffered yet another injury blow as their Uruguay midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur hobbled off in the first half of the 2-1 Premier League defeat by Aston Villa on Sunday.

The 26-year-old only recently returned from an eight-month lay-off because of a serious knee injury and was making his first start but was injured in the 26th minute by a poor-looking Matty Cash tackle.
