Tottenham Hotspur’s options in the middle of the park have been decimated by injuries in recent weeks.

Rodrigo Bentancur tore his hamstring in the 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth last month and had to go under the knife. He has been sidelined for months now. In the span of just over a week, Thomas Frank was rocked by the news of injury to Lucas Bergvall. The young Swede suffered a serious ankle injury that has forced him to undergo surgery, thus ruling him out for months.

Joao Palhinha also recently missed three games with a minor injury before returning to action last week. After returning from AFCON, Yves Bissouma has worked his way back in recent weeks, but he has just five months left in his contract.

The north Londoners did act by bringing in Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid, and the England international has added some much-needed bite and energy to their engine room. However, after recent injuries to Bentancur and Bergvall, Thomas Frank’s club are planning to further reinforce the midfield department.
