Games Rodrigo Bentancur will miss after red card vs. Manchester United ft. Chelsea

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur will serve a three-match domestic ban after being sent off against Manchester United. Referee Stuart Attwell dismissed the Uruguayan international for violent conduct following a headbutt on Luke Shaw just 12 minutes after coming on as a substitute. The suspension rules Bentancur out of upcoming matches against Coventry City, Chelsea, and Crystal Palace, with Tottenham reportedly unlikely to appeal the decision.

Despite playing with ten men, Tottenham salvaged a point at Old Trafford. Rohan Sengupta reports that Bentancur's absence could open up midfield opportunities for Lucas Bergvall and Mateus Fernandes under manager Roberto De Zerbi, who publicly praised the squad's response while facing the midfielder's costly multi-game domestic suspension.
