Rodrigo Bentancur was spotted for the first time back on the training pitch as he continues recovering from a serious knee injury that has ruled him out since February. The midfielder was seen taking part in the warmup with the rest of his Spurs teammates before continuing his solo workouts.

The footage shows Bentancur working on his pass and move techniques before he took on a training dummy. In that drill, he turns with the ball, plays a one-two with a wooden block and calmly finishes into the back of a small net as he continues to work his way back up to full fitness.
