Tottenham return to Premier League action this month with a few injury issues to contend with.

A worrying blow for Rodrigo Bentancur has put the midfielder in a race against time for the Premier League restart on Boxing Day.

Ben Davies and Ryan Sessegnon are also being monitored ahead of the game with Brentford, while Heung-min Son is not yet fully over the effects of his facial surgery.

Antonio Conte will get a good look at his Spurs side in a friendly with Nice on December 21 having beaten Motherwell on the weekend.

Rodrigo Bentancur

A thigh injury forced the Uruguayan out of his country’s final World Cup game on December 2.

Reports have suggested a three-week timeframe for Bentancur’s return, making him a doubt for the Brentford game.

Heung-min Son

South Korea star Son is expected to return to Tottenham training on Tuesday and will continue to wear a facemask as he looks to protect the injury he suffered against Marseille.
