Rodrigo Bentancur Injuries

'Yes, Bentancur was just tired...'

'Rodri has a hamstring injury - looks like a bigger one, unfortunately. We don’t know the time frame. That we will know later.' '[Kudus] is progressing very well, already a little bit with the ball. Rodrigo as well.' 'Bentancur is working with us, but not completely...' 'Bentancur is available to play... I don't know to start the game or not.'

'Rodri is back from illness, so that’s good.'

'Danso, Sonny and Rodri all got sort of knocks. I don't think it is anything significant. I think, from what I've heard, they should be fine.' 'The three guys who picked up knocks last week - Bentancur, Danso and Son - are all good. We've had a full week to recover and prepare.'

'I don't have all the information. My understanding is he is conscious, and he was conscious when he got to the dressing room. We took him to the hospital to get him checked over. It was worrying and always a concern, but from what I know, hopefully, he will be OK.' 'Good news. He was in hospital and did all the tests to make sure everything is OK. All good. He's back home, and he's fine. He is feeling good... Thankfully, it looks like a concussion and nothing more than it.'

'An independent Regulatory Commission has imposed a seven-match suspension and £100k fine on Rodrigo for a breach of FA Rule E3 in relation to a media interview.'

'I don't have a lot of information, but I know he is up and he's communicating, so he's fine from that point of view. Obviously, it's a head injury, and I'll leave it in the hands of the medical team now. The key thing is that he's definitely conscious and communicating.' 'Irrespective of concussion protocols, any head injury, we've always got to be more conservative from my perspective. He's bounced back really well; he's done all the tests and feels good, but we'll take our time with Rodrigo to make sure he's absolutely 100 per cent before we put him out there again.' 'Rodrigo is all good; he's passed all the protocols we need to, and more importantly, he feels really good.'

'The truth is that now the ankle is fine. Luckily, the knee has recovered, nothing to speak of other than just one broken toe. I broke the little toe of the left foot two or three weeks ago, but this one I'm still playing the same.'

'It's his ankle, I think. It wasn't a great tackle. I thought he started the game so well. That's the last thing we need - another injury.' 'He'll probably miss a fair chunk of time between now and the New Year. It's probably a couple of months for him, which is disappointing because we all know how hard he has worked to get back.'

'He feels a lot of pain, but he can walk, and it's important that he was able to walk back to the bench. We'll check how he is, and we'll know more in a few days.' 'We can confirm that Rodrigo has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will be out of action for the remainder of the campaign.' 'With these types of injuries, you need to be very careful. We see sometimes that they can reoccur, and we're assessing him day by day. He's making progress, but at the moment, it's probably too early to set a return date.' 'We continue working, and my knee is doing very well. I didn't set a lap time, but I hope in two or three months to be at least gaining a few minutes again.' 'There's no change. All Rodrigo is doing at the moment is warm-ups with the teams, so he's not doing it on his own, but he's not participated in any sort of meaningful training yet.' 'Ryan (Sessegnon) and Rodrigo are still well off [in terms of a return to action].' 'We've got to be mindful that he's missed a fair bit of football, but I think the more he trains with the first team over the next few weeks, we'll sort of pick our moment.'

'Rodrigo has started to work. I think that he's going to be good for the game against Aston Villa.' 'I think we have to wait; maybe today he is going to have an MRI to try to have an evaluation about his injury. For sure, tomorrow against Villa, he's not available.' 'Rodrigo has started to work, he's still not ready, but hopefully, he'll be ready for our next game in the Premier League (against Arsenal).' 'About Rodrigo and Richy, they had a part of the training session with us today, they are recovering well, and they are very close to being ready.' 'Like I said after the game against Arsenal, we have Rodrigo training with us – he is available, and he could be available for the game against City.'

'Bentancur is much better and today was a part of the training session.'

'Bentancur is okay. He has recovered 100 per cent.'

"Bentancur is improving, and I think after this game, he can come back with us."
